Christ our Righteousness

This sermon centers on the profound truth that Jesus Christ is the Lord our Righteousness, the only basis for humanity's acceptance before God. Drawing from Jeremiah 23:5–6 and other Scripture, it emphasizes that human righteousness is inherently flawed—like filthy rags—while Christ's perfect, imputed righteousness, earned through His sinless life, substitutionary death, and resurrection, is the sole ground of salvation. The message underscores the believer's union with Christ, where His righteousness is credited to the bor again beliver, enabling eternal security, peace, and confidence in God's grace. It calls for a complete renunciation of self-justification and a joyful reliance on Christ alone as the mediator, surety, and source of all spiritual blessings. The tone is deeply pastoral, convicting, and comforting, inviting worship and trust in the sovereign, redeeming work of God in Christ.
