All right, so We're gonna jump into the second half of the book, which is, the first half of the book, the first book in the righteousness of Christ, the second half of the book, the second book in is the Power of the Holy Spirit. and a verse that I just really came out to me is, but you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and I like the way the author starts this second section. He says, there's a lot in the gospel and in the righteousness of Christ when, when the shackles, if you will, of legalism or of self-fort and that, that gap or that constant tension of trying to please God and not being able to or getting worn out trying to walk the Christian life or all those other things that we've done. Trying to make atonement for our own sins in small ways, small a's if you will, that God making so clear and putting that first book in on the shelf is righteousness.
It's the righteousness of Christ. All of any time we default to what He has done, what He has done is absolutely sufficient. It says in Isaiah chapter 53, When he that is God will see the travail of his soul, that's Jesus, he will be in the Hebrews, he will be fully satisfied. Like that's it.
I'm completely satisfied. With what my son has done, taking the sins of the world away, and I'm taking, I completely, that's all I require is in Christ, and that's all I'll accept is in Christ. And so he takes not only our sins on Him, but he gives us the righteousness of Christ, and we walk in front of Him and walk with Him and are before Him as complete in Him. That is complete in every way.
He has equipped us with all things it takes to pertain to life and godliness, and we're complete in Him and washed. Clean every whit. Think about all the, all the steps you had to go through to get into the temple and especially the high priest, even to get into the holy of holies, that just that one time a year, all those things that has to be done. And yet if, God forbid, well, unless he wants to, One of us drops over dead right now and we're, we're Christ's, we go from here within a split second into the very presence of a holy God, able to look him face to face....
