Righteousness Is Ours Through Faith
Righteousness Is Ours Through Faith Hebrews 8:7-13 Main Point: Righteousness can be ours before God through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ, to all who will believe in Him! 1. The Need – We all have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory (requirements). (verse 23) Verses 10-12 > Psalm 14:1-3; 53:1-3 2. The Cure – God presented Him as a sacrifice of atonement for our sin to fulfill His justice. (verse 25) Atonement = a sacrifice that appeases God’s wrath; covers or turns away His wrath from us. (the life is in the blood Lev. 17:11) It is also our redemption… (verse 24) Psalm 49:7-8 3. Grace – We are all justified freely through this grace of Jesus Christ – through faith in His blood. (verses 24-25) Grace (‘charis’) = the unearned, undeserved favor, mercy and love of God towards us. Hebrews 10:1-4 > v. 10
