The Hope of Righteousness

Galatians 5:5 KJV
For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

Through the Spirit I wait for only One, that is the Lord Jesus Christ who is the hope of righteousness.

My righteous standing before God is a standing made for me in Jesus Christ.
• He paid the debt of my sin
• He provided for me His own righteousness
• He paved the way to the Father for me and
• He has prepared a place in the Father's house for me


Hope is not to be understood as a wishy-washy, I hope for this but cannot be sure I will ever have it, type of thing. Hope is to be understood as the certain procurement of those who have placed saving faith in Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ, the hope of righteousness
