Christ Has Undefiled

[roi...@mindspring.com]

Christ is the only righteousness
there is for salvation,
both now and forever,
and for anyone to be counted
as being righteous by Christ
and so be saved,
they must receive faith from Christ
to trust him to be righteous
for us forever in our stead,
so Christ counts
his own perfect righteousness
as though it were ours:

As it is written,
There is none righteous,
no, not one:
(Romans 3:10 KJV)

But now the righteousness of God
without the law is manifested,
being witnessed by the law
and the prophets;
Even the righteousness of God
which is by faith of Jesus Christ
unto all and upon all
them that believe:
for there is no difference:
For all have sinned,
and come short of the glory of God.
(Romans 3:21-23)

Before the Rapture of the Church by Christ,
except for the remnant mostly Gentile
that Christ takes in the Rapture,
people are believing false "gospels"
that do not trust Christ to be righteous
for us forever in our stead for salvation,
just as the unbelieving Jews:

For they being ignorant of God's righteousness,
and going about to establish
their own righteousness,
have not submitted themselves
unto the righteousness of God.
(Romans 10:3)

After the Rapture,
during the decades
of the Tribulation generation
people still believe the false "gospels",
but the Jewish remnant is given faith by Christ
to trust him to be righteous for us
forever in our stead for salvation,
so is undefiled by false churches
with false "gospels",
and is the 144,000 sealed to be
the firstfruits of the vast harvest
at the globally visible coming of Christ:

These are they which were
not defiled with women;
for they are virgins.
(Revelation 14:4)

for I have espoused you
to one husband,
that I may present you
as a chaste virgin to Christ.
(2 Corinthians 11:2)

Christ enables the Jewish remnant
to preach the real Biblical Gospel
which is also the Gospel that
Christ showed to enable
the Protestant Reformation,
to all the nations on earth,
and the remnant is not deceived
by the false "gospels",
Catholic or Protestant,
that after the Rapture,
as before the Rapture,
keep the world trusting its personal
so-called "righteousness",
actually unrighteousness,
rather than Christ for salvation:

MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT,
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS
AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
(Revelation 17:5)

And with all deceivableness
of unrighteousness
in them that perish;
because they received not
the love of the truth,
that they might be saved.
(2 Thessalonians 2:10)
