   2 Samuel 4: Seek Christ's Righteousness    
   29 Nov 25 15:16:06   
   
   [continued from previous message]   
      
   is urgent. You cannot repair what sin has broken. You cannot climb to   
   God through your own worthiness.   
      
   But God, in His mercy, sent His Son to accomplish what you never could.   
   Jesus Christ died for your sins, bearing the full weight of judgment   
   that should have fallen on you. His death paid the penalty your sins   
   deserved, satisfying God’s righteous demands. His resurrection stands as   
   God’s declaration that the sacrifice was accepted and the debt fully   
   paid (Romans 4:25; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4). God calls you to change your   
   mind about sin, to stop trusting in your own strength or alliances, and   
   to rest in the righteousness Christ provides. Call on the name of the   
   Lord, for He will save you. Do not put this off. Your alliances will   
   crumble. Your works will fail. But Christ’s righteousness endures forever.   
      
   For believers, this chapter calls you to seek Christ's righteousness.   
   You do not walk in your own strength. God calls you to reject the subtle   
   temptation to rely on people, systems, or your own achievements. He   
   calls you to rest in His redemption and seek the righteousness of the   
   One who reigns with perfect justice. Strengthen your confidence in God’s   
   King. Trust His ways. Walk in His righteousness. And let your life   
   reflect the grace you received from His hand.   
      
   --   
   Have you heard the good news Christ died for our sins (†), and God   
   raised Him from the dead?   
      
   That Christ died for our sins shows we're sinners who deserve the death   
   penalty. That God raised Him from the dead shows Christ's death   
   satisfied God's righteous demands against our sin (Romans 3:25; 1 John   
   2:1-2). This means God can now remain just, while forgiving you of your   
   sins, and saving you from eternal damnation.   
      
   On the basis of Christ's death and resurrection for our sins, call on   
   the name of the Lord to save you: "For 'everyone who calls on the name   
   of the Lord will be saved'" (Romans 10:13, ESV).
