God’s Righteousness was revealed, when to The Church, Paul appealed, <br />As he proclaimed Truth to everyone, who was saved by God’s Own Son, <br />Teaching every one of those, who believed in Christ, who died and rose, <br />Who would grant all believers in Christ, eternal hope and a righteous life. <br /> <br />Through Paul’s letter, Spirit Inspired, he stated righteousness is required, <br />From everybody on this earthly sod, who desires to please Eternal God, <br />As no one is righteous, no not one, except for God and His Eternal Son, <br />And without Him on the present path, we’ll only see His Righteous Wrath. <br /> <br />But, Righteousness is provided for us, when in Christ we place our trust, <br />Imputed to believers as they believe, when God’s Truth they truly receive, <br />The Righteousness of Jesus Christ, provided to all through His Sacrifice, <br />So we can stand before our Creator, in The Righteousness of our Savior. <br /> <br />God’s Righteousness is explained, from the knowledge Paul had gained, <br />For he was a well taught Pharisee, and he had meet The Lord of Eternity, <br />As Paul explains how we are justified, by Christ, who for all sinners died. <br />And He purifies the believer’s heart, with His blood, as they are set apart. <br /> <br />Paul practiced what he would preach, for the people that he would reach, <br />As an example for all Believers today, as they walk Christ’s Narrow Way, <br />While they work out their salvation, through the process of sanctification, <br />With our old lives for Christ crucified, we live so Christ Jesus is glorified. <br /> <br />(Copyright ©01/2009)<br /><br />Bob Gotti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/god-s-righteousness/
