Basically to summarize, I'll quote from Buchanan in the wonderful book that we're going through on Saturday mornings. He talks about this imputed righteousness and he says thus he and he's speaking specifically of Paul in Romans 3. So remember 3:19 and 20 show you the bankruptcy of a reliance on the law for acceptance with God. Therefore, by the deeds of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God is revealed, being testified by the law and the prophets, not an innovation, not a new thing. It's always been the case that anybody who's entered into heaven has done so based on the doing and the dying and the rising of our Lord Jesus. So he says he brings into view another righteousness emphatically called the righteousness of God because God claims a special propriety in it as being peculiarly his own devised provided wrought out and revealed by himself alone. Beautiful.
