2,356 wordsThe Righteousness of God in Paul's Theology The question is, of course, how does the Christian obtain this righteousness? Indeed, what exactly is "righteousness?" When Luther defines the "righteousness of God" as that by which He makes us righteous, his words have a strongly "Catholic" ring. And a good Protestant will feel a little anxious when Luther speaks of a "preparation" for righteousness, sometimes in connection with his idea of "humility" (which he seems to regard as, at any rate in part...
