A Strange Verse

made holy

Righteousness• Forgiveness + Holiness

Difference–Justification - wholly God’s work–Sanctification - we work with God• Philippians 2:12-13

–continue to work out your salvation with fear and

trembling, 13 for it is God who

works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.

a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ – the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith

•  I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day – and not only to me, but also

to all who have longed for his

appearing.
