Yeah the merchant pulls out some scales and there are two bowls one on each side of the scale and into one of the bowls he places a.
Heavyweight that is equal to the amount of grain that she desires to purchase and the scale sag as this bowl goes down with the heavyweight.
And then the merchant begins to pour the grain into the other bowls and it keeps pouring until this bowl comes down.
And this ball with the weight begins to rise until they are perfectly even this grain conforms now to the standard that is on the other bowls.
He brings out his scales of justice and we are weighed in the balances and on one in on one side in this bowl he places his own perfect Holiness it is the Flawless sinless morally.
Perfect Holiness of almighty God who has never once sinned who has never once aired and in this other ball is placed the entirety of your life.
And you are measured in weight against the Holiness of almighty God and we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God and the wages of sin is death.
Which is eternal death the second death the only way for these scales to be brought into balance is for the perfect Holiness of someone else.
To be placed into your bowl for the perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ to be substituted for you and when we by faith believe in Jesus Christ.

God takes the perfect righteousness of
Christ that was achieved through his sinless life and his substitutionary death yes.And God imputes that or charges that to us such that now on one side is the Holiness of God and on the other side is the Flawless.
Perfect Holiness and righteousness of Jesus Christ it is the only way for these scales to be brought into balance is for the righteousness of someone else to.
Be given to you and that is why Jesus Christ came into this world he was born of a virgin under the law that he would keep the law perfectly.
Throughout the entirety of his life and that he would live in your place and obey the law in your place and that he would go to the cross and there bear our sins in his body.
And through his sinless life and his substitutionary death achieve perfect righteousness this is what you so desperately need tonight.
Is for the righteousness of Christ to be given to you you need more than forgiveness of sin because.
Forgiveness of sin only removes the sin it removes the penalty of sin but you need far more than forgiveness you need the positive righteousness of Christ to be given to you.
In order to find acceptance before God in heaven so I want us to look at this text tonight and I want you to see this Doctrine by.
Which the church stands or Falls
And by which your life will stand or fall oh so I want to take this text and I want to break it into three parts.And in the first part of verse 17 I want you to see righteousness revealed is Paul Begins by saying for in it the righteousness of God is revealed.
The word it refers to the Gospel of Jesus Christ we don't have all right just listen to me this verse is all about the gospel.
Do you understand what the gospel is the gospel is the good news of Salvation that is in Jesus Christ all these first 17 verses of Romans are about the gospel.
He says in verse 1 he's been set apart for the gospel of God the gospel is God's solution to man's problem that the gospel is his gospel it is his.
Plan of Salvation none of us here tonight could have ever designed the gospel who Among Us here tonight could have conceived the gospel in our own mind.
That the second person of the Trinity would be commissioned to come into this world that he would be born of a virgin who among us would have come up with the.
Virgin birth that he would be truly God yet truly Man without sin none of us could have ever conceived of the god man Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ that he would live in our place that he would die in our place and that with his death he would satisfy the righteous anger of God toward us and that with his death he would.
Reconcile holy God to sinful man and bring them together through the blood of the cross Only The Genius of God could have designed the gospel.
That he would be raised from the dead that he would Ascend back to Heaven that he would be seated and thrown at the right hand of God the father and that whoever believes in him would.
Have eternal life this is God's gospel is this is God's solution to your problem and my problems and there is no other gospel.
There is no other solution and it is this gospel that we reveals the righteousness of God yes so in verse 17 he says the righteousness of God.
This means the righteousness that has come from God that this gospel that this righteousness has come from God and God alone and that it is revealed in the gospel.
And for those who put their faith in Christ God declares them to be righteous in Christ second Corinthians 5 21..
He made him who knew no sin to be sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in him so I want to give you three now pictures.
That the Bible gives for how this righteousness comes to you the first is a courtroom scene in which you are standing before the court of God.
He has the books and they're opened and every sin that you have ever committed is recorded in this book he has the total record of your life from the time you were born till the day.
You die and just one sin has against God would be sufficient to damn your soul to Hell forever but we have committed mountains and.
Mountains of sins and as God looks at us we stand condemned system but standing next to us.
Is the Lord Jesus Christ he is the advocate of Sinners and because of his perfect life and his substitutionary death and our faith in Christ.
His righteousness is declared to be our possession and the gavel of Heaven comes down [Music] and we are declared to be accepted by.
God that is the courtroom setting the second setting is a a banking picture [Music].
In which we stand before God and he examines our account and he sees that we are spiritually bankrupt that the wages of our sin is death.
And that we owe a debt to God that we could never pay off in a Million eternities but standing next to us is Jesus Christ who has all of the riches of his grace.
And his Mercy cases so as the gold of his forgiveness and the silver of his righteousness and because of our faith in Jesus Christ.
All of the riches of Heaven are transferred to our account and we who were poppers and Beggars have inherited The Riches of Christ and God declares us to be righteous.
Before him the Bible uses a third picture and it is the it is the picture of of clothing in this picture we stand before God.
We stand before him naked and the leprosy of our sin covers Us from the top of our head to the bottom of our feet we are foul and filthy in the Holy Eyes.
