In Jeremiah 23 God declares that He Himself will be the righteousness of His people. But what is righteousness? Why do we need it? How is our righteousness fulfilled by God?
This week we explore what God means when He tells us that He is our righteousness, and we begin to explore some of what righteousness means in context of its opposite - sin. We'll go on a whistle-stop tour of the biblical narrative to try and understand the impact of this declaration.
Finally, we come to observe how it is Jesus who earns righteousness, and how our righteousness is awarded to us by our faith in Him.
