Jehova-Tsidkenu: The LORD is our righteousness

Jeremiah 23:5-6“Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord,“When I will raise up for David a righteous Branch;And He will reign as king and act wiselyAnd do justice and righteousness in the land.“In His days Judah will be saved,And Israel will dwell securely;And this is His name by which He will be called,‘The LORD is our righteousness.’”

Clothed in RighteousnessIsaiah 61:10I delight greatly in the Lord; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

Jehova-Tsidkenu: The LORD is our righteousness

Clothed in RighteousnessRomans 3:10-1210 As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one; 11 there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. 12 All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.”

Jehova-Tsidkenu: The LORD is our righteousness

It is a great sin to think any sin little; but it is a greater sin to think the righteousness of Christ is not above all sin. Our disobedience is the disobedience of man; but Christ’s obedience is the obedience of God: therefore, our believing in Christ doth please God better than if we had continued in innocency, and never sinned. The least sin is unpardonable without this obedience and righteousness of Christ; and the greatest is pardonable by it. Therefore, O seek in to Christ, to be clothed upon with this righteousness.
