Can you see the difference?
Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
But now the righteousness of God/YAH without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God/YAH which is by faith of Yah'Shua Messiah unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God/YAH; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Messiah Yah'Shua:
Whom God/YAH hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God/YAH; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Yah'Shua. Romans 3:20-27;.
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God/YAH, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Romans 4:1-5; See also Galatians 3:6-16; Hebrews 11:8-17'; James 2:21-23.
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. Romans 8:29-30.
But now the righteousness of God/YAH without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God/YAH, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir. And, behold, the word of YAHWEH came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir.
And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.
And he believed in YAHWEH; and he counted it to him for righteousness. Genesis 15:3-6.
Speak not thou in thine heart, after that YAHWEH thy Elohim hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness YAHWEH hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations YAHWEH doth drive them out from before thee.
Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations YAHWEH thy Elohim doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which YAHWEH sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Understand therefore, that YAHWEH thy Elohim giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people. Deut.9:4-6.
I will praise YAHWEH according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of YAHWEH most high. Psalms 7:17.
They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this. Psalms 22:31.
He shall receive the blessing from YAHWEH, and righteousness from the Elohim of his salvation. Psalms 24:5.
According to thy name, O Elohim, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth:thy right hand is full of righteousness. Psalms 48:10.
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Yah'Shua Messiah is Yahweh, to the glory of God/YAH the Father. Phil.2:9-11 .
Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am Elohim, and there is none else.
I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall confess.
Surely, shall one say, in YAHWEH have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.
In YAHWEH shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory. Isaiah 45:22-25.
Behold, the days come, saith YAHWEH, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, YAHWEH=(Yah-Shua) OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Jeremiah 23:5-6.
Messiah Yah'Shua said:
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. Matthew 5:20.
But seek ye first the kingdom of Elohim, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33.
This is WHY Paul wrote this below.
Knowing that a man/person is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Yah'Shua Messiah, even we have believed in Yah'Shua Messiah, that we might be justified by the faith of Messiah, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. Galatians 2:16.
Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Yah'Shua Messiah my Yahweh: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Messiah,
And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Messiah, the righteousness which is of God/YAH by faith: Philippians 3:8-9.
Hallelu-YAH!
