During the 1800s, a group of Christians set out to teach morals without Christ, which makes no sense for several reasons. For one thing, it’s the logical fallacy of moralism. Without the Divine Law-Giver, all morals would be a matter of opinion. There would be no absolutes. More importantly, people without Christ need Christ. They don’t need a false sense of righteousness by obeying some rules, however well they might be able to obey them. They would not obey the Law perfectly, which is what would be required. Besides, they would be disobeying God by rejecting Christ. The Law won’t help them at all, except to demonstrate to them that they have fallen short and need Christ. Righteousness is a free gift, part of the salvation that comes from Christ. We are saved from sin to righteousness. That’s what salvation is. What people in sin need is Christ. Christ will then become their righteousness, holiness, and redemption. (Romans 1:30)

Righteousness is a free gift, part of the salvation that comes from Christ. Grace is the power of God to do His righteousness through us. Grace can only be accessed through faith. Faith only comes through the rhema of God when we acknowledge Him. We are saved from sin to righteousness by grace, which is through faith. That’s what salvation is. What people in sin need is Christ. One person, who was actively involved in this particular sin, said that she was a Christian. She needs to follow Christ. If she follows Christ, she’ll walk right out of this sin. That’s what every Christian needs to do if they want to leave their various sins behind themselves.
