Psalm 22:30-31 "A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation. (31) They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this."
I want to first say how humbling it is to be able to read God's Word and to know that He had me on His mind as He inspired the writers to pen His Words."They shall come and declare HIS righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that HE hath done this." I have no righteousness to merit God's grace and neither do you. I have nothing to declare about my ability or your ability in securing eternal salvation. I come to "DECLARE HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS." For you see, "He hath done this."
What did He do and who is He? "A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation." A seed shall serve the Lord. Let us allow the Word of God to answer the question.
Who is the seed that served the Lord? "Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, AND TO THY SEED, WHICH IS CHRIST." (Galatians 3:16)
How did He serve? Again, let the Word of God answer this question. We're always on safe ground when the Word of God confirms our thoughts. "CHRIST HATH REDEEMED US from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree." (Galatians 3:10)
Who is the generation to whom His righteousness was accounted? I submit that generation is the same as the "us" in Galatians 3:10. And who would that be? All the redeemed of Christ. Everyone for whom Christ died has, or will have, the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ.
We have no righteousness of our own; rather, His righteousness was accounted to us by God's grace. When God looks at us, He sees Christ's finished work applied to us. You see, either Jesus paid it ALL or His death was in vain. I submit to you that my righteousness is purely and simply the result of God's amazing saving grace. And so is yours.
