There was the righteousness in which man was first made. 2. There is a righteousness which is a part of the character of God. 3. There is a righteousness composed of all the perfections of the life of Christ.Now this is the righteousness which every good man seeks. 1. That it will justify him before God. 2. Then something that will justify him before his own conscience. 3. The comfort of the thought that it is not to attainers, but to seekers. 4. There is one God in providence and in grace. (J.
