… this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness.

(Jeremiah 33:16)

Jehovah our righteousness, is the blessed doctrine which could make a ‘good’ man say, upon the prospect of death; I am not anxious either to live or die: if I die, I shall be with GOD; and, if I live, He will be with me. Everlasting righteousness, is an undoubted title to everlasting life; and such is the righteousness of Jehovah-Jesus. Couldst thou unite all the righteousness of heaven and earth in thine own person, thou wouldst see, O Christian, that the infinite righteousness of thy Redeemer, so vastly transcends the splendid aggregate, that with the apostle, thou mightest count them all but dung and dross, in the comparison, and seek justification and glory in [our Lord’s righteousness] alone. Rejoice then in Him, who is unchangeable; and trust in His righteousness, which can never fail.
