It is accounted to us in order to righteousness (Rom 4:5, GREEK), but not as righteousness; for in that case it would be a work like any other doing of man, and as such would be incompatible with the righteousness of the Son of God; the righteousness which is by faith. Faith connects us with the righteousness, and is therefore totally distinct from it. To confound the one with the other is to subvert the whole gospel of the grace of God.

(1) Being declared righteous (justification) and (2) being made righteous (sanctification—our status or standing with God by faith in Christ and our condition before God. By condition we mean the Holy Spirit in the life, the doing of good works, and the developing of character.) That, of course, is not the \"righteousness by faith\" of the New Testament. Never, never, never. In Paul's discussion on acceptance and in his discussion on justification, \"righteousness\" and \"faith,\" \"just\" and \"faith,\" are linked together thirteen times in thirteen verses. They are never so linked in his discussion on sanctification. It is so important to understand that sanctification, or being made righteous, is the fruit of the gospel. It is not the gospel. It is the result of the gospel. The gospel is the good news about the death and resurrection of Christ. Through faith in Christ, his perfect righteousness is imputed to us, and God accepts us—now. Sanctification—or working in cooperation with the Holy Spirit—is the fruit of the gospel.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Desmond Ford" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/desmond-ford/in-some-denominations-righteousness-by-faith-has-traditionally-been/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/058/desmond-ford-14966_christianity_in-some-denominations-righteousness-by-f_2112475.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/058/desmond-ford-14966_christianity_in-some-denominations-righteousness-by-f_2112475.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/058/desmond-ford-14966_christianity_in-some-denominations-righteousness-by-f_2112475.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“In some denominations, \"righteousness by faith\" has traditionally been understood to include two things.
