Fulfilling Righteousness and Granting Righteousness

Big Idea: Jesus fulfills all righteousness in order to credit righteousness to all those who by faith repent and believe.

• Jesus affirms the sufficiency of scripture.
• Jesus affirmed the inspiration, inerrancy, infallibility, and authority of the Old Testament.
• You cannot accurately affirm the sufficiency of Christ without affirming the authority of scripture.
• Jesus delivers a complete salvation. V.18
• Jesus fulfills the Law.
• Jesus fulfills prophecy.
• Doctrine determines discipleship. V19
• Imperfect doctrine does not forfeit a complete salvation.
• Delighting in doctrine (hearing and doing) determines discipleship.
• Righteousness must be a gift that is received because it is not a wage that is earned.
• The sin of unbelievers exceeds their own righteousness.
• Based upon the Cross and the Empty Tomb, only the sinlessness and sufficiency of Jesus is greater than all my sin.
