Book of Jeremiah Jehovah Tsidkenu The Lord, Our Righteousness Righteousness = right or straight 1 John 3:4 “Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.” 1 John 3:8-9 “But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil. Those who have been born into God’s family do not make a practice of sinning, because God’s life is in them. So they can’t keep on sinning, because they are children of God.” (NLT) Opposite to righteousness = sin Greek [ hamartanō ] (sin) To miss the mark (and so not share in the prize)

GOD Book of Jeremiah Jehovah Tsidkenu The story of Jeremiah Complacency Jeremiah 2:2-5 “I remember the devotion of your youth, how as a bride you loved me and followed me through the desert, through a land not sown.” Hear the word of the L ORD, O house of Jacob, all you clans of the house of Israel. This is what the L ORD says: “What fault did your fathers find in me, that they strayed so far from me?” Habitual sin Addictions Lack of purpose Spiritual or emotional abuse

GOD First Point Jehovah Tsidkenu is calling you back to the path of righteousness Matthew 7:13-14“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” One Confess your sins Two “I’m the righteousness of Christ.” Colossians 3:2-10 “For you died and your life is now hidden with Christ in God... You used to walk in these ways and the life you once lived… Do not lie to each other since you have taken off your old self with its practices and you’ve put on the new self, which is being renewed in the knowledge and the image of its creator.” The doctrine of imputation Jehovah Tsidkenu Book of Jeremiah

GOD Second Point Moving on 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” Psalms 14:3 “All, everyone of us have turned aside. There is no one who does good, not even one.” The great chasm Isaiah 64:6a “All of us have become like one who was unclean and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags…” Romans 3:23 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” Jehovah Tsidkenu Book of Jeremiah

GOD Second Point Moving on Isaiah 61:10 “For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness…” Jesus stands in the great chasm with open arms Jehovah Tsidkenu Book of Jeremiah
