[af_vet_1981]

Jesus came to set us free. Not put us back under the bondage of the Law. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

That’s right.

The righteous requirements of the Law were fulfilled in Christ, and then are imputed to us when we accept Christ and have HIS righteousness credited to our account, and we are IN CHRIST.

THEN God looks as us and sees only the righteousness of Christ, who fulfilled the law perfectly, and not out own righteousness, which is as a filthy rag in His sight.
