Doctrine of Righteousness
1. The righteousness that pleases God comes by faith.
Genesis 15:6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.
Romans 4:4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
2. God is never pleased when a form of righteousness is rooted in good works and for thisreason. It was lack of faith, which plummeted humanity into sin. When Lucifer challengedthe Word of God and led Adam and Eve to doubt the Lord faith was lost. Not only mustParadise be restored but the integrity of God Himself.
Romans 4:5
But
to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly,his faith is counted for righteousness
.3. The righteousness that comes by the instrument of faith is demanded of the Jew and theGentile.
Romans 4:9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon theuncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
Romans 4:11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto themalso:
4. The promises of God are given in grace and received through the righteousness of faith.
Romans 4:13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith
.5. The righteousness that was imputed to Abraham is imputed to all that share his faith.
Romans 4:24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead 
;6. Because Abraham staggered not at the promises of God but believed His word, his faith wasimputed for righteousness.
Romans 4:20-22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. 23 Now it wasnot written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; 24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
 
7. The believer is to clothe himself in righteousness.
Job 29:14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and adiadem.
Matt 22:11-14 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man whichhad not on a wedding garment: 12 And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou inhither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. 13 Then said the king tothe servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 14 For many are called, but feware chosen
.8. Gospel obedience to the Word of God is credit as righteousness.
Deut 6:25 And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandmentsbefore the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us
.9. God properly rewards righteousness.
Job 33:26 He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall seehis face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness
.10. The fruits of righteousness may be recognized.

He that sweareth to his own hurt, and changeth not.5 He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. Hethat doeth these things shall never be move
