Shall many be made Righteous !
Shall be made Righteous ! Rom 5:19
19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners,
so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
19 For as indeed by the disobedience of the one man the many have been constituted sinners, so also by the obedience of the one the many will be
constituted righteous.
What is Paul teaching here ? Well in addition to him teaching that by Christ's obedience for the many shall account them Righteous, it also means that they shall be constituted Righteous, which speaks of a production.
The word made is the greek word kathistemi and means:
to constitute, to render, make,
cause to be
To constitute means:
to make up or form something
: to be the same as something : to be equivalent to something
: to establish or create
This is speaking of New Birth or a New Creation, a New Production, a causing to be, or show to be Righteous !
It means the constituting Essence of a New Divine Nature 2 Pet 1:4
4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these
ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Hence a New Man becomes Our inward Life 1 Pet 3:4
4 But let it be
the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit
, which is in the sight of God of great price.
Its the Life of God and Christ formed in us Gal 4:19.
Its the inward reconstruction foretold here Ezk 36:26-27
26 A new heart also will I give you,
and a new spirit[i.as seat or organ of mental acts] will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27
And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
Jer 31:33
33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord,
I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Jer 32:40
40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but
I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
You see, since by His Obedience we are reckoned Righteous before God, its followed up and showed to be by constituting us Righteous by New Birth. This is a must; For the same applies to 2 Cor 5:21
21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be
made the righteousness of God in him.
The word made here is the greek word ginomai:
I.to become, i.e. to come into existence, begin to be, receive being
This speaks to the New Birth, a New Creature, a New Man is brought into being, that inner man or hidden man of the heart.
Through Christ's death or obedience we shall beging a life of Christ likeness by New Birth, that's a certainty, because scripture says, they SHALL BE MADE RIGHTEOUS !
Shall means it must happen, as when Jesus told the Elect Pharisee Jn 3:7
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
That word must dei:
I.it is necessary, there is need of, it behooves,
is right and proper
A.
necessity lying in the nature of the case
Its right and proper because His Death has already legally declared them Righteous, now they must be constituted so, and showed to be so ! 18
