Paul introduces himself as a servant of Jesus Christ called to be an apostle and set apart to preach the gospel of God. He states that the gospel was promised beforehand through the prophets and concerns God's son Jesus Christ, who was of the lineage of David and declared to be the son of God through his resurrection from the dead.

202. A major theme of the book, appearing over 30 times in one form or another, righteousness is the state or condition of perfectly conforming to God’s perfect law and holy character.

203. The only people who think they are good enough to go to heaven are the people who don't know how bad they really are! Righteousness is what we need but do not have. Therefore God, knowing that we could never be righteous on our own, has provided a righteousness which comes down to us from heaven above. It's not earned or deserved, but is given to us by God as a free gift."

204. "The gospel makes known a righteousness. (Paul's desire was that he might "be found in Him [Christ], not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith," Php 3:9)

215. The object of faith is Jesus.

216. Why? The reason is clearly expressed by Jesus himself: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6).
