His human righteousness
The human righteousness of Christ belongs to him in his human nature, as he is the mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5). This is either internal or external. His internal righteousness is the image of God, stamped on every power and faculty of his soul. It is a copy of his divine righteousness, so far as it can be imparted to a human spirit. It is a transcript of the divine purity, the divine justice, mercy, and truth. It includes love, reverence, and resignation to his Father, humility, meekness, gentleness, love to lost mankind, and every other holy and heavenly temper, and all these in the highest degree, without any defect, or mixture of unholiness.
