Chapter 16 Faith Is of God; It Is Divine The righteousness of God is his own character: it is himself. This is one of the only two things that the children of men can profitably seek: "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness." This righteousness is not attained by exertion: it is received by revelation. In the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed. (Rom. 1:16, 17) Anything that is a revelation can be received by man only through his believing. The righteousness of God coming to men only by revelation can be received by men only through faith. Therefore it is written that in the gospel not only "is the righteousness of God of God revealed," but it is manifested (revealed) "by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe; for 80
there is no difference." (Rom. 3:21, 22) And not only is the righteousness of God revealed to faith; it is revealed not alone to the measure of faith that you have to begin with; but also to faith beyond that--to greater faith. That is to say, the revelation of the righteousness of God to faith to begin with, and to the measure of faith with which you begin, causes that faith to grow,--causes that measure to expand into greater faith; and then the righteousness of God is revealed more largely than before, to this greatly increased measure of faith. On the other hand, the very exercise of the faith that you have to begin with in receiving the righteousness of God, causes that faith to grow. And in the very nature of the case, as the faith has grown, and there is a larger measure of it, there is larger room for the revelation of the righteousness of God. And there being a larger measure of faith, and the righteousness of God being revealed to faith, it is plain that more of the righteousness of 81
