YAHWEH-TSIDKENU: The Lord Our Righteousness- Jeremiah 23:5-6 “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord, “When I will raise up for David a righteous Branch… And this is His name by which He will be called,‘The Lord our righteousness.’” In Jeremiah God pronounced judgment against Israel, and gave them the promise of a righteous Branch (Jesus) who would bring restoration. It is only through the Lord sending His Son that we can be made righteous. Jesus Christ became sin for us so that we could become the Righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21). When we turn and repent, we are cleansed of our sin. “This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.” (Romans 3:22).
