Report of Young Believer's Meeting

81st Meeting of Y. B. D., on Feb. 4,1928. Present, approximately, 90.

Meeting opened with singing of hymns and prayer.

Essays on Justification were read by A.H., G B and Mr. V. D.

In the discussion following Mr. J. R. E. remarked on difference between "Christ's righteousness" (an expression used in one essay) and "God's righteousness."

Christ's righteousness said to be His perfect law-keeping. The righteousness of the law is after this wise "The man that doeth these things shall live by them." Christ's righteousness could not be imputed to us.

Righteousness of God has for basis the idea that God does right. God's righteousness is God's acting toward man for blessing and in so acting He acts in consistency with all that He is in His being. Compared Ps. 32 and Rom. 4:5. Forgiveness is the negative side of the gospel -not imputing sins unto me.

Questions for next time:H. G.-Explain Rom. 9:22 and 1 Pet. 2:8.

Explain what is meant by, "For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith."

Also explain 2 Cor. 5:21, "For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him."
