Andrew Murray on The New Life: Words of God for Young Disciples Text
Ro 5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive
abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
Ro 5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even
so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
Ro 6:13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield
yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of
righteousness unto God.
Ro 6:18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
Ro 6:19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have
yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield
your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
Ro 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his
own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
Tit 1:8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;
Tit 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly,
righteously, and godly, in this present world;
1Jo 2:29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is
born of him.
1Jo 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he
cannot sin, because he is born of God.
1Jo 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth
not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
Being right with God is followed by doing right. 'The righteous shall live by faith' a righteous life.
It is to be feared that this is not always understood. One thinks sometimes more of justification than of
righteousness in life and walk. To understand the will and the thoughts of God here, let us trace what
Scripture teaches us on this point. We shall be persuaded that the man who is clothed with a divine
righteousness before God must also walk before God and man in a divine righteousness.
Consider how, in the word, the servants of God are praised as righteous; (Gen. 6:9; 7:1; Matt. 1:19;
Luke 1:6; 2:25; 2 Pet. 2:7)
Ge 6:9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations,
and Noah walked with God.
Ge 7:1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have
I seen righteous before me in this generation.
