Two types of righteousness in a grace believer



The difference is clear to see in these verses:


POSITIONAL: 

God’s righteousness imputed to us through faith in Christ and received the instant we are saved.

Rom_3:22  Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

Rom_4:5  But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

Rom_8:10  And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

See also: Rom_5:17-18; Rom_5:21; Rom_8:10.


PRACTICAL: 

Righteousness produced out of us by obedience to the Word (See Rom_8:13).

Rom_6:13  ...but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

Rom_8:4  That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

See also: Rom_6:16; Rom_6:18-19.
