In eternity, people are in two groups.
One group has its own "righteousness"
and comes short in the sight of God.
The righteousness of the other group is Christ
and therefore without spot in the sight of God.
In his great love for us,
God has given his Son
to be our righteous Substitute
so that in this present world
people can pass from
the group of the lost to the group of the saved.
The passage is Christ alone thru faith alone.
This is what that faith is:
All trust is placed on Christ and only him
(none on self, efforts, church, ordinances)
to be our entire righteousness for salvation.
