    1. 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.
    1. Self-righteousness fails
    • We can never be found righteous in ourselves.
    1. 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.
    1. Our righteousness is through faith
    • Not everyone gets righteousness from God.
    • God determines who is given righteousness; only those who choose faith.
