Sinopsis

The Audio to this sermon is at the bottom. Or if you prefer, there's a short video version here: The fundamental idea of righteousness is that of strict adherence to the law. Both Hebrew and Greek words contain the idea of conformity to a standard. God can be seen as righteous in two ways: Absolute Righteousness - he is as part of his divine nature infinitely righteous in and of himself. He can’t sin, he can’t lie, it’s just not who he is. Relative Righteousness - in the light of every violation of his divine and perfect righteousness he is seen to be the only true holy one. God’s righteousness is connected with his justice. He must do things the right way, which means as judge, he can only judge fairly. The following verses give us an idea of how he sets the standard for righteousness.   Faithfulness You are righteous, Lord, and your laws are right. (Psalm 119:137) The Lord is righteous in all his ways and faithful in all he does. (Psalm 145:17) You have kept your promise because you are righteous.
