Quote by John MacArthur
“LA JUSTICIA DE CRISTO. Pablo deseaba «ser hallado en él, no teniendo mi propia justicia, que es por la ley. sino la que es por la fe de Cristo, la justicia que es de Dios por la fe» (Fil. 3:9). Conocer a Cristo es tener su justicia, su santidad y su virtud imputada a nosotros, lo que nos hace justos delante de Dios. A lo largo de toda su vida pasada, Pablo había tratado de obtener su salvación por medio de una firme obediencia a la ley. Pero cuando se vio confrontado con la maravillosa realidad de Cristo estuvo listo a entregar toda su justicia propia, su moralidad exterior, sus buenas obras y sus rituales religiosos a cambio de la justicia que era suya a través de la fe en Jesucristo. Pablo estuvo dispuesto a perder el frágil y desteñido manto de su reputación, para ganar el espléndido e incorruptible manto de rectitud de Cristo. Éste es el mayor de los beneficios porque asegura nuestra posición ante Dios. Es el regalo de Dios al pecador, apropiado por fe en la obra perfecta de Cristo, que satisface la justicia de Dios.”
