celine handbags in

I recently received an email from a friend who was confused because he had just read an article which said that the teaching of positional righteousness is a lie. For some reason, the foundation stone of the believer positional righteousness celine handbags in Christ is now being challenged on the basis of a orrected?understanding that we are in fact literally or actually righteous, not positionally righteous.

So which is true? Is our righteousness positional or actual? The answer is that it is not ither/or?but oth/and? There are many distinct aspects to our salvation and they http://www.celinese.com/ are each described by a different term in the New Testament. Two of these separate parts are ustification?and egeneration? If we follow Paul order of teaching concerning righteousness in Romans 6:3-5 we will not become confused:

*We are first baptized into Christ into His death. This relates to our justification or imputed righteousness.

Justification is a word that is used to describe God verdict of us. The moment we believed in His Son, God forgave us all our sins - past, present and future - and declared us to be righteous. This is a once-for-all verdict. It will never change.

Yet it is important to understand that God declared us to be righteous before we possessed a righteous nature, or could lay claim to righteous behaviour. In fact, at the time of our justification we celine bags outlet were ungodly. Yet, God ustifies the ungodly?(Rom.4:5).

How could He do that? The holiness of God demands that He can only respond to sin in one way ?He has to pass the death sentence upon it. So how could He declare us to be righteous when we were ungodly? It is because of our position in Christ. The moment we believed in Christ we were baptized into Him and became one with Him. celine
