Righteousness and True Holiness Ephesians 4:24
In Hebrews 12:14 the Spirit of God tells us that there is a Òholiness without which no man shall see the Lord.Ó In Ephesians 4:24 he declares that all who are born of God are born new creatures in Christ Jesus, Òcreated in righteousness and true holiness.Ó That holiness without which none can enter into heaven is the righteousness of God imparted to the heaven-born soul in regeneration, the divine nature of which we are partakers by grace (2 Peter 1:4). This is the experience of the new birth; and it is just as necessary to the salvation of our souls as the righteousness of Christ imputed to us in justification.
