- Introduction
- Why do we publicy profess our faith? Why do we sign or read the profession of faith regularly?
- It's important to know what God has promised us, and assured us of.
- It's important to understand God's gift of righteousness.
- Self-righteousness fails
- We can never be found righteous in ourselves.
- Righteousness is from God
- God is shown to be righteous in all of his dealings with us.
- God supplies our righteousness for us. God provides it to us for free. Faith is the only requirement.
- Our righteousness is through faith
- Not everyone gets righteousness from God.
- God determines who is given righteousness; only those who choose faith.
