Although the righteousness of Christ is freely offered, and provides restoration full and complete for the sinner; yet we are told that some “do not appropriate the righteousness of Christ; it is a robe unworn by them, a fullness unknown, a fountain untouched.” How can there be such failure to accept and appropriate this greatest of all gifts, when- COR 102.3
“Only those who are clothed in the garments of His righteousness will be able to endure the glory of His presence when He shall appear with ‘power and great glory’”?-The Review and Herald, July 9, 1908. COR 102.4
“On Christ’s coronation day, He will not acknowledge as His any who wear spot or wrinkle or any such thing. But to His faithful ones He will give crowns of immortal glory. Those who would not that He should reign over them will see Him surrounded by the army of the redeemed, each of whom bears the sign, ‘The lord our righteousness.’”-The Review and Herald, November 24, 1904. COR 103.1
