Pastor Tim Travis preaches on the moral attribute of God’s righteousness beginning in Psalm 145:17 and Romans 1:16-17. Pastor Travis begins by defining righteousness and establishing its importance as a communicable attribute, meaning humans can strive to reflect it in their own lives. Travis emphasizes that the source of knowledge about God’s righteousness is the Bible. He then explores the implications of this attribute, arguing that God’s righteousness cannot be earned or paid for, but is rather a gift freely given through faith in Jesus Christ. Travis highlights the exchange that takes place: Jesus took on our sin, and in return, we receive His righteousness, allowing us to be declared righteous in God’s eyes. He also points out that while our declaration of righteousness is eternal and does not change based on our actions, sin still has consequences, including hindering our fellowship with God and potentially leading to temporary consequences in this life. Travis concludes by urging listeners to live righteously, reflecting God’s righteousness in their actions, and reminding us that this righteous life brings peace and confidence in a wicked world.
