Christ, the Righteousness of His People

Richard Rawlin (1687-1757), was a practical and experimental Puritan divine and a serious, affectionate, and solid Reformed preacher of the Gospel. How shall a sinner stand before God on the Day of Judgment? The only biblical answer to this question is in the righteousness of Jesus Christ alone. He treats this very important subject from Isaiah 45:24, “Surely, shall one say, in the Lord have I righteousness.” The imputation of Christ’s righteousness is the basis of all true religion and the great article of hope for the Church. Rawlin explains this fundamental gospel truth in three main heads. 1. He shows particularly what that righteousness is which is to be obtained in the Lord Jesus Christ. 2. He inquires how we come to have an interest in this righteousness. And, 3. He concludes with a practical application.
