The chapter discusses the concept of craving righteousness through Christ and the new covenant, focusing on personal growth, grace, and transformation. It explores theologians' perspectives on righteousness in relation to justification, the distinction between old and new covenants, and the fulfillment of righteousness by Jesus. The chapter emphasizes the importance of understanding God's covenant faithfulness, the role of Jesus in fulfilling the law for believers' justification, and the eschatological dimension of righteousness in the Christian faith.
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.” - Matthew 5:6. What does it mean to hunger and thirst for righteousness? Is righteousness about right relationships or justice—is it about one’s standing before God? Or does it include all three? Through this beatitude, Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Walter Strickland, and Bob Hiller dive into the various theological debates around “righteousness” in the Bible. In this episode, the hosts examine claims from N. T. Wright and the New Perspective on Paul. Together, we’ll consider why the imputation of Christ’s righteousness to sinners is an essential doctrine for the church.
