Paul's Epistle to the Philippians Chapter 3:9
(10 of 16)
Harley Howard
Again the judicial understanding of declared
righteousness is the key, and this is brought out most
fully by Paul. Following the teaching of Christ, Paul
explains that no one seeking to be righteous by the
works of the law can be justified in God’s sight,
since everyone is a sinner and has fallen short of
God’s righteous standard.
Romans 3:9-10
9 What then? are we better [than they]? No, in no
wise: for we have before proved both Jews and
Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not

be justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the
knowledge of sin.
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of
God;
Galatians 2:16

be justified.
As I said a few moments ago: No one seeking to be
righteous by the works of the law can be justified in
God’s sight, since everyone is a sinner and has fallen
short of God’s righteous standard. Therefore THE
RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD comes as a:
(1.) Gift, which we do not earn nor deserve,
(2.) It is a gracious DECLARATION in which God
pronounces righteous the one who puts his faith in
JESUS CHRIST.
(3.) In this DECLARATION God forgives the sins of the
justified on the basis of Christ’s atoning death, so
that God himself is vindicated as just in his
justification of sinners
Romans 3:21-26
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is
manifested, being witnessed by the law and the
prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of
Jes ...
