Brethren,

Hope this meets you well.

This Sunday, we shall be starting a new quarter. But the good news is that we shall continue with the theme we started in Quarter 2. And we kick off with a look at The Righteousness of God.

Key Learning Points
1. Two types of righteousness – the righteousness of man and the righteousness of God (Romans 10:3, 5; Philippians 3:9)
a. The righteousness of God is based on faith in Christ; whereas the righteousness of man is based on the law and works (human efforts)
b. The righteousness of God is a gift He gives (2 Corinthians 5:21); whereas the righteousness of man is an effort to earn God’s approval.
2. Christ is the only means by which anyone can receive God’s righteousness. (Romans 10:4; 3:22)
3. God’s righteousness is how anyone can be saved. Our faith in what God did when He sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ to die on the cross and be raised from death is how we connect with God’s righteousness (Romans 1:17) “A righteousness that is by faith from first to last.”
a. Zeal for God without God’s righteousness cannot save anyone.
b. The righteous must live by faith; in other words, “The man who finds life, will find it through trusting God (Romans 1:17 – TLB)

Take it from me, the righteousness of God is far better than any righteousness anyone can work out for themselves. See attached outline for your further reference.

See you on Sunday.

Brethren,

I trust that you are well and rejoicing in all that the Lord is doing in and for you.

Our quarter theme on: God’s Power at work in us continues this Sunday with a look at Abraham and the matter of Righteousness by faith.

Do you struggle with whether God approves of you or not; about what He thinks of you? Then you must not miss this study. See attached outline for your further reference.

The key lessons include:

  1. God’s desire for us His children is that we believe in Him and trust in Him completely.
  2.  Righteousness does not come by works, but by unwavering faith in God.
  3. We can be sure that we will never be out to shame because God is faithful to do just what He said He will do. 

See you on Sunday. And we fully trust God to account righteousness to us and not trusting on our efforts.
