Our “garment” is the righteousness of Yehova through the loving and earnest keeping of the Torah he has written on our hearts.

Our garment of righteousness is the righteousness of Jesus Christ imputed to us which is credited to our account when we believe.

It's ALL God's doing because our righteousness is as filthy rags in His sight and cannot ever be free enough from the contamination of sin to be worth anything.

Not to mention that it's not that the righteous works save us anyway because one sin is all that it takes to condemn us and a lifetime of otherwise perfect living and righteousness STILL would not be enough to nullify that sin.

The ONLY way is through forgiveness and forgiveness isn't forgiveness if it is earned or has conditions placed on it. Then it is wages due.

Works ARE important but not in regard to attaining salvation. That itself is a free gift of God.

Nor are they important for keeping salvation cause if we couldn't earn it by works, we can't keep it by works.

Works play a whole different role in God's economy but meriting heaven isn't one of them.

es is a Michael Rood sycophant. He cannot comprehend Grace through his work work work belief system. His pride will not allow it.

Nowhere is that absurd lie to be found on the word.

That is a false gospel from the adversary.

“Believing” is the daily following of the standard set by Yeshua in his daily life: Torah.
