The Gospel of Life

     The Gospel of life is the Gospel of our Lord and Redeemer Jesus Christ; that is, it is in His all-sufficient imputed righteousness that we stand on our knees before Him and when we stand right in His sight.  No truth is grander; no truth is better; no earthly riches compare; no apostle or angel can compare with the beauty of His imputed righteousness of His life and death alone.  We ought to think long on this truth of His imputed righteousness because He justifies us before Him and He is the righteousness that makes us whole.  No other righteousness will do except the righteousness of Christ alone. It shines greater then the sun and earthly gold; it shines greater then the moon and the stars; it shines greater then thunder or lightening.  It is truly that righteousness that we treasure if we have learned the Gospel of His kingdom.  We stand, yea, in Christ and through Christ alone.   It is He who is our Friend of friends; the One to whom we give our hearts; the One to whom we worship and whom He makes the apple of His eye.  No greater righteousness is this then His righteousness alone because we stand clothed in His majestic garments with robes of white by His Spirit and Word.  What a precious truth!  Amen.
