What Is The Difference Between The Righteousness By Faith And Righteousness By W by Steep(m): 5:30pm On Feb 18, 2022 |
What is the difference between the righteousness of faith and righteousness of works? The righteousness of works is dependent on human performance but righteousness of faith is the righteousness that depends on faith in christ. The righteousness of works believe humans can be righteous or atleast close to righteous by striving to. But, the righteousness of faith says no one can be righteous or close to righteous even our very best is nothing but filthy rag before God and our only hope is Jesus christ himself. The righteousness by works is self base, one is directed to self but the righteousness by faith is external, one is directed to the cross. The glory of the cross is reveled, the benevolence of God demonstrated, the total depravity of humanity is exposed and the inability of man is made known through the preaching of the righteousness by faith. In the which God alone is glorified, exalted, his unmatched holiness revealed, his justice met in the cross, his abundant and unmerited love demonstrated upon the recipient of his grace. While in the righteousness of works, God's standard is lowered, his holiness is put down, his love hidden, his justice compromised, the cross lose his power, for if righteousness could be attained by works then the cross becomes irrelevant, Christianity becomes yet another vain religion that teaches piety, good deeds, good morals etc Romans 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: Romans 4:6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, The bible is clear! 1 Corinthians 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 1 Like |

There is a new heresy going round now that faith does not just mean to Believe that it means something more than just to believe. The devil and his ministers would not give up their quest to pervert the simplicity of the gospel. 2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. Jesus is not complex! God made the gospel so simple so that anyone could believe it, the poor, the rich, men, women, children, educated, non educated etc so that all may be saved who believe it. Faith simply means to believe all things concerning christ, to believe all things christ. To believe both the both the bad news that says all have sinned and are bound to hell due to their sins and to believe the good news that Jesus the Son of God was given to us that by trusting in him we become saved. This is faith my friend! |

What's the essence of this difference? What are you trying to achieve differentiating the two things? Is this teaching not promoting immorality instead? They were many faithful men who were declared righteous by works |

It's the same thing. There is no faith without works so it's the works of faith that shows what you believe in your heart. That's why James said: Nevertheless, someone will say: “You have faith, and I have works. Show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.” James 2:18 If you have faith it only what you alone can see but it's what you're doing that will make your faith obvious to everyone around you! Hebrews 11:1 Therefore if you say you have faith but it's not working out anything that others can see then your faith is worthless! James 2:26 ![]() |

Steep: What is righteousness? |
Re: What Is The Difference Between The Righteousness By Faith And Righteousness By W by Steep(m): 8:18pm On Feb 18, 2022 |
elated177:righteousness to be in the right, either to be in the right with men or to be in the right with God. |
Re: What Is The Difference Between The Righteousness By Faith And Righteousness By W by elated177: 8:20pm On Feb 18, 2022 |
Steep: What does it mean to be in the right with God? |
Re: What Is The Difference Between The Righteousness By Faith And Righteousness By W by Steep(m): 9:34pm On Feb 18, 2022 |
elated177:To be free from sin or guilt. Psalms 32:2 Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. |
Re: What Is The Difference Between The Righteousness By Faith And Righteousness By W by Great2017: 10:00pm On Feb 18, 2022 |
Steep:How do you know you are free from sin or guilt? |
Re: What Is The Difference Between The Righteousness By Faith And Righteousness By W by Steep(m): 11:37pm On Feb 18, 2022 |
Great2017:free from sin does not mean one don't have the capacity to commit sin, it means one is removed from those who are guilty to suffer eternal condemnation and also regenerated spiritually. This is made possible through Jesus Christ. John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. |
Re: What Is The Difference Between The Righteousness By Faith And Righteousness By W by elated177: 12:00am On Feb 19, 2022 |
Steep: Psalm 32: 5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.” And you forgave the guilt of my sin. |
Re: What Is The Difference Between The Righteousness By Faith And Righteousness By W by elated177: 12:05am On Feb 19, 2022 |
Steep: Did this assertion really make sense to you, steep? This kind of teaching complicates the simplicity of the Glad Tidings of Yahushua the Messiah. Let me ask this: where is the role of the Ten Commandments in what you are trying to expound and espouse here, steep? |
Re: What Is The Difference Between The Righteousness By Faith And Righteousness By W by Steep(m): 12:40am On Feb 19, 2022 |
elated177:It's simple! God declares anyone who put his faith in Jesus christ as righteous on account of christ sacrificial work. The ten commandments is to expose sin and lead sinners to the saviour. |

RIGHTEOUSNESS by FAITH IS JURISPRUDENCE. RIGHTEOUSNESS by WORKS IS PRACTICAL JUSTICE. FAITH IS THEORY. WORK IS PRACTICE. |
Re: What Is The Difference Between The Righteousness By Faith And Righteousness By W by elated177: 10:53am On Feb 19, 2022 |
Steep: Who is Yahushua the Messiah ( Jesus Christ)? What does it mean to put your faith in the Messiah? After leading sinners to the Messiah, what is next? |
Re: What Is The Difference Between The Righteousness By Faith And Righteousness By W by Steep(m): 1:22pm On Feb 19, 2022 |
elated177:To believe in Jesus is to recieve him as our saviour and Lord, the one who give us life and redeem us from condemnation of Sin. After leading sinners to the messiah, sinners receive the messiah and he gives them life. |
Re: What Is The Difference Between The Righteousness By Faith And Righteousness By W by elated177: 1:45pm On Feb 19, 2022 |
Steep: Who is Yahushua the Messiah (Jesus Christ)? Steep: I meant what you said as quoted below. Steep: So, after exposing sin and leading sinners to the Saviour, according to you, steep, what then happens to the Ten Commandments? |
Re: What Is The Difference Between The Righteousness By Faith And Righteousness By W by Steep(m): 2:31pm On Feb 19, 2022 |
elated177: I guess you are asking after we come to Jesus if we still keep the Commandments, actually what happens is that we become the fulfillment of the Commandments, we go beyond the Ten Commandments, we are now living by the law of christ or the law of faith, which is the law of liberty and unity with God and Jesus christ. Romans 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Take note the Ten Commandments remain but it is fulfilled in them that believe. |
Re: What Is The Difference Between The Righteousness By Faith And Righteousness By W by Great2017: 2:35pm On Feb 19, 2022 |
Steep:How do you know that you have heard and believed the Goodnews by Jesus Christ ? |
Re: What Is The Difference Between The Righteousness By Faith And Righteousness By W by Steep(m): 2:53pm On Feb 19, 2022 |
Great2017:The bible, my friend. The bible reveals christ. I search the scriptures to see if what I heard where true, that is how I knew. |
Re: What Is The Difference Between The Righteousness By Faith And Righteousness By W by Great2017: 3:52pm On Feb 19, 2022 |
Steep:So it is the reading of the bible that justifies and not your fruit anymore.This is really weird I must say. |
Re: What Is The Difference Between The Righteousness By Faith And Righteousness By W by Steep(m): 6:12pm On Feb 19, 2022 |
Great2017:what I addressed is how do I know I have the right gospel. Not the fruit of salvation, of which you were not clear. |
Re: What Is The Difference Between The Righteousness By Faith And Righteousness By W by Great2017: 7:37pm On Feb 19, 2022 |
Steep:Your initial response failed to address the question of how to know whether you have heard and believed the Goodnews by Jesus Christ. Moreover, reading the bible does not necessarily mean that you have believed what is written there in. There lies our argument. |
Re: What Is The Difference Between The Righteousness By Faith And Righteousness By W by Dtruthspeaker: 1:02am On Feb 20, 2022 |
Steep: Wrong! Deuteronomy 6:8 clearly supplies the Answer. Psalm 32 :2 Is a pronouncement of Judgement upon a person accused. |
Re: What Is The Difference Between The Righteousness By Faith And Righteousness By W by Dtruthspeaker: 1:09am On Feb 20, 2022 |
Steep: There is also righteousness depending on faith in Satan, science, self, babalawo, Olumba Olumba, Mohammed, etc. Faith is not exclusive to the Bible alone. Secondly "The righteousness of works is dependent on human performance" if a human does no thing, can he ever be judged righteous at all? No, it is impossible, for a man must perform (do or deed or work) before his performance can be graded righteous or unrighteous. |
Re: What Is The Difference Between The Righteousness By Faith And Righteousness By W by elated177: 11:12am On Feb 20, 2022 |
Steep: You have not answered the question. Who is Yahushua the Messiah (whom you refer to as Jesus Christ)? What does the "law of faith" say? What does the "law of Christ" say? What does it mean to go beyond the Ten Commandments? |
Re: What Is The Difference Between The Righteousness By Faith And Righteousness By W by Steep(m): 9:55pm On Mar 25, 2022 |
ChocolateWine:If works can make you righteous then you don't need Jesus but you are wrong all have sinned, no one is righteous no not one. That is why every one need Jesus we need his righteousness not our self righteousness which is but a filthy rag before God. |
Re: What Is The Difference Between The Righteousness By Faith And Righteousness By W by ChocolateWine(f): 10:16pm On Mar 25, 2022 |
Steep: Faith without works is dead. I know you're just looking for something to talk..I've replied you, are you happy now? |
Re: What Is The Difference Between The Righteousness By Faith And Righteousness By W by Steep(m): 10:52pm On Mar 25, 2022 |
ChocolateWine: You actually displayed ignorance. Faith without work is talking of a false faith. |
Re: What Is The Difference Between The Righteousness By Faith And Righteousness By W by ChocolateWine(f): 2:36am On Mar 26, 2022 |
Steep: Okay, where did get that interpretation? Explain bible scholar. |
