You're not understanding God's Righteousness., because you are "Ignorant of God's righteousness, going about to establish your own".......Paul teaches.
And if you dont have it,....having received "the Gift of Righteousness before you die".... then you're not just a pretender.....
Listen.......God came to this earth, wrapped in Human flesh, to give you His very own righteosness., that is imputed.
English Standard Version
but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith—
Berean Standard Bible
the righteousness from God on the basis of faith.
Berean Literal Bible
the righteousness of God on the basis of faith,
King James Bible
but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
You are not a ""Nation""", You are a sinner who is trying to work your way into your continuing self righteousness, delusions.
You twisted a verse that is talking to NATIONS, and are twisting it constantly to fit your theological pretext, which denies the "Gift of righteousness" = that God gave to Abraham, and to Noah, and to and to all who believe in Christ by FAITH.
A.) Our "FAITH is counted by GOD, as RIGHTEOUSNESS"........= imputed righteousness.
You do not understand this, and that concludes that you dont understand God's plan of Salvation.
No sinner has rightouesness of their own, """For the SCRIPTURE has concluded that all are under sin.""""
That means you.
"""All of your works are filthy rags.""", before God's Holiness.
That means all of them., including tomorrow's and todays, and yesterday's.
Abraham is the "father of our faith"....
Paul teaches....as it was Abraham who "
BELIEVED God "and it was COUNTED UNTO HIM as GOD's Righteousness" = imputed, and it "shall be imputed to us also".. who BELIEVE"........
Paul teaches.
How?
"Through Faith"..........Paul Teaches.
"Justifiction by FAITH"..."without works or deeds of the Law".
