Righteous before God is a book by Michael Reeves about one of the most important truths of the Christian faith: justification by faith alone.
Drawing on Scripture, the history of the Reformation, and the example of Martin Luther, the author explains in a clear way why man cannot earn God's favor through his own efforts. Righteousness is not a reward for good works or the result of moral perfection, but a free gift of God's grace received through faith in Jesus Christ.
Michael Reeves shows that justification is God's judgment, by which a sinner is declared righteous because of the perfect righteousness of Christ. The book also helps us understand how justification is related to sanctification, the place of good works in the life of the believer, how to deal with sin, and what is the basis for true assurance of salvation.
This is a book that will not only deepen your understanding of the Gospel, but will also help you see again the beauty of God's grace and find true peace in Christ.
