Found in Him
We often evaluate ourselves and our righteousness in light of other people or some perceived standard
The idea in this passage is that this is an observable righteousness
The verb for “found in Him” often has the meaning of “prove to be”
It is the viewpoint of the Judge who alone determines our reality.
In Scripture, righteousness is often a legal term, not a moral one.
It means that a judge would pronounce someone righteous.
Naturally, the ideal was that the person would actually be righteous, but the focus is on what the judge said.
The verdict does not necessarily depend upon the moral realities.
Therefore the BIG QUESTION is: “What must a person do if God is to declare that he is in the right and so give judgement in his favor?
Righteousness from the Law
Righteousness that is measured by adherence to some external identifiable standard.
Righteousness from the Law means that when compared to the standard of God’s law, found blameless.
So is the problem with the Law?
Paul never spoke against the law, instead he pointed to our inability to keep the law.
The concept of Righteousness from the Law is an “achieved” righteousness.
Paul has already explicitly rejected this type of a righteousness as inadequate in verse six.
God’s standard is an absolute standard.
There is no such thing as “Close Enough”.
Righteousness through Faith in Christ
Clearly, no one has the kind of righteousness that will secure a verdict of innocent when God examines their life.
It is THROUGH faith
This first phrase deals with how it is achieved.
Rather than focus on our behavior and attitude, Paul rightly points to the only conduit that God has ever issued Grace, the conduit of faith.
Hebrews 11:1-2
It is ON THE BASIS of faith
The second phrase deals with how it is awarded.
