Argument or Encounter

While many people out there have outstanding argumentative abilities, especially in matters relating to one's heart conviction, it's the encounter with the phenomenon that sets the record for those who only feel they can follow a particular aspect only after having convinced their minds. Matters of believing for example, as the term dictates are best pursued in faith, which is the language most received by God - 'For without faith it is impossible to please God'

The Righteousness of God

God is righteous and so are we. It was this kind of assertion that made religious leaders of the day decide to crucify Christ. He, as far as they were concerned, was considering equality with God which thing was blasphemy at its worst. But God does consider us righteous when he looks at us in the body of His Son. It is not because of our own effort or works that we are made righteous, but the complete work of the cross that Christ continues to do in the hearts and lives of all who have invited him to dwell within. He makes us whole and the wholeness we become is the work he continues to do so long as we allow him. We are therefore the righteousness of God in all respects - in Christ, so to speak.
