Christ the Righteousness of the Believer
Scripture
KJV
In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
ESV
In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely. And this is the name by which he will be called: ‘The LORD is our righteousness.’
Jeremiah 23:6
Poem
Saviour divine, we know thy name;
And in that name we trust;
Thou art the Lord our righteousness,
Thou art thine Israel's boast.
That spotless robe which thou hast wrought,
Shall clothe us all around;
Nor by the piercing eye of God,
One blemish shall be found.
