Divine grace is the favor of God given to us through our Lord Jesus, apart from obedience to the Law of Moses, with the purpose of conforming us to Christ's internal and external image and bringing us to perfect, complete rest in the center of God's will; until there is a new creation of righteousness, holiness, and stern obedience to the Father?
Christ Himself is Righteousness. When we receive Christ as our Savior, righteousness is ascribed to our actions and holiness is ascribed to our person. Then the program of redemption commences. Our first personality is crucified, and Christ begins to gain control of our actions. Thus, that which at first was ascribed to us is now seen in our daily behavior toward people and displayed in our attitude toward God.
