What righteousness is
Righteousness, as was observed before, is the image of God, the mind which was in Christ Jesus (Philippians 2:5). It is every holy and heavenly temper in one, springing from, as well as ending in, the love of God as our Father and Redeemer, and the love of all people for his sake.
