But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream! Amos 5:24 I want to take you on a bit of a thought-journey with me in this (and possibly some subsequent) post. I've been thinking a lot about the language of 'righteous' lately. Partly due to preaching recently on James 5 (including 5:16,
"A person who is righteous is not perfect and sinless, but deals with their sins through the means God has appointed. In the OT, the sacrificial system, in the NT by confession and repentance."
...do you see that as contradicting the understanding that every righteous person in the OT was righteous in Christ?
Thanks for this, Seumas.
