If we could peer into heaven and see that great number of departed and glorified saints, I think we would see Abraham and his nephew Lot, Joshua and Rehab the harlot, Samuel and Samson, the penitent thief, and the glorious Apostle Paul, all dressed in the very same raiment; that beautiful garment of salvation, the righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ which was freely given them (Isa. 61:10). After all, nothing less will make a sinner acceptable in God's sight and qualified for heaven! And what is there more? Can anything be added to the righteousness of Christ? Can anything make a sinner more approved of God? The Lord Jesus Christ is all of the believer's justifying righteousness (1 Cor.1:30; 2 Cor. 5:21).
