How would you suppose that the righteousness of Christ is manifested in your life?nor the righteousness of Christ and a sinner..
Romans 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
If the righteousness of Christ, and sinfulness, as you said above, are contrary one to another, (and they are), then if one has within him the righteousness of Christ, would not one's life be such as is in harmony with the requirements of the law as a fruit of that indwelling Spirit of obedience per Romans 6:16 above? If not, to what purpose is there in receiving Christ's righteousness other than a radical change in lifestyle and thought?
