THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS

Titus 3:5 says "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us..."

I was reading Jeremiah 33 and came across verse sixteen. I don't know if it's the same with all bibles, although most likely it is, but at the end of that verse you will find these 4 words in bold lettering: "THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS". Titus says that we're not righteous people, and it's true. All the best things in the world we can offer to God and it still wouldn't be enough to make us even good people before God.

This name was promised to Jerusalem regarding Christ, but this same thing applies to us too. THE LORD IS OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, and I think we can all confidently say this. It's because of his mercy we're alive, and because of him we are made right before God. All I can say is praise God for everything!
