Our righteous = God's righteous?

[TonyChanYT]

Psalm 143:

2 Do not bring Your servant into judgment, for no one alive is righteous before You.

Mark 10:

18 Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone.

True righteousness belongs only to God.

Philippians 3 describes two kinds of righteousness:

9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law,

The horizontal kind comes from the law.

but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.

The verticle kind comes from God.

Jeremiah 33:

16 In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell securely, and this is the name by which it will be called: The LORD Our Righteousness.

Our righteous = God's righteous?

Well, not exactly because the equal sign is loaded.

Is our righteousness that comes from God the same as His righteousness?

Yes, this is true righteousness.

 

[Who Me]

Our righteousness is nothing, like our good deeds, everything we have is from God.

Isaiah 64:6
New International Version
6 All of us have become like one who is unclean,
and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags;
we all shrivel up like a leaf,
and like the wind our sins sweep us away.

 

[Tenchi]

Psalm 143:

Mark 10:

True righteousness belongs only to God.

Remember that at the time of the writing of the Psalms and the remark of Christ in Mark 10:18, the Atonement of Christ had not yet been accomplished and the Holy Spirit was not yet permanently regenerating and residing within people (Titus 3:5; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20; Romans 8:9-14).

The perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ is imputed to you and I.

1 Corinthians 1:30
30 But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,

Romans 5:19
19 For as through the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous.

Galatians 2:16
16 nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified.

2 Corinthians 5:21
21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

Galatians 3:26-27
26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

If we are not covered in Christ's perfect, divine righteousness, we cannot be accepted by God because it is only perfect, divine righteousness that God accepts.

Though we are declared by God to be perfectly righteous - justified - we are so only forensically and in our spiritual position in Christ, not literally and practically. A man who is clothed in a bearskin coat is not suddenly, actually a bear. Likewise, we who are clothed in Christ's perfect righteousness are not, therefore, the divinely-perfect Christ.

Is our righteousness that comes from God the same as His righteousness?

Yes, this is true righteousness.

Well, what about, say, the Corinthian believers? They were contentious, prideful, condoning of gross sexual sin, selfish and so on (1 Corinthians 3:1-3; 5, 6, 11). I don't see how they could be said to have "true righteousness" in their conduct and attitudes. What, then, do you mean when you say a Christian, a born-again believer, has such righteousness?

Well, what about, say, the Corinthian believers?

Good question.

Some of the Corinthians did not have the Paraclete dwelling in them.

What, then, do you mean when you say a Christian, a born-again believer, has such righteousness?

For those who did, some were still lacking. Paul called them to grow spiritually.

To clarify further, a born-again believer has true righteousness with respect to justification.
