The Alone Remedy

Romans 3:21 KJV
But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

Scofield's Bible Notes entitles this section of the Book of Romans; The Alone Remedy. I was very much struck by that title. His notes go on to comment about righteousness.

"The righteousness of God is neither an attribute of God, not the changed character of the believer, but Christ Himself, who fully met in our stead and behalf every demand of the law, and who is, but the act of God called imputation (Lev_25:50); (Jam_2:23); "made unto us . . righteousness" (1Co_1:30).
'The believer in Christ is now, by grace, shrouded under so complete and blessed a righteousness that the law from Mt. Sinai can find neither fault nor diminution therein. This is that which is called the righteousness of God by faith.' -- Bunyan."
