Paul's Passing Thoughts

Right on, right on, right on. Good for them, God bless them. But I think we can still do better. Where does it say in the Bible that it was Christ’s righteousness that was imputed to us? The Bible seems to make it a point to always say it was God’s righteousness. Does that matter? Yes, it’s still true, technically more accurate, and puts another object between absolute truth and error of the sort they are talking about.

Secondly, where does the Bible say that Christ’s performance in His life on Earth was “necessary” for the atonement? All that was necessary was for Christ to be who He is. Christ was the sufficient sacrifice by virtue of who He is, and His obedience to the cross to secure our salvation.

Don’t get me wrong, this is an awesome step in the right direction, but I would still like to pose this challenge.
