FOR OUR ENLIGHTENMENT!!! The Bible tells us that The NAME bestowed by The Father on Jesus Christ, whereby every knee should bow, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:9-11) is not Jesus Christ also, but RIGHTEOUS or RIGHTEOUSNESS which REFERS to God’s people redeemed from Egypt, from nations and their gods for himself and to make him a NAME (2 Samuel 7:23; 2 Chronicles 7:14; Is 63:11-14; Jeremiah 32:20; 2 Timothy 2:19). Paul was CHOSEN to bear that NAME and preach Christ before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel (Acts 9:15,20; Galatians 1:6) that they may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus (Colossians 1:28). Jeremiah 23:6,5 says that the NAME whereby Jesus Christ shall be called is ... RIGHTEOUSNESS (Jer. 33:16,15). The NAME of Jesus Christ whereby he shall be called is not Jesus nor Christ also, but RIGHTEOUSNESS (Jeremiah 23:6,5; 33:16). It is written, “neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12,10). It is not even LORD, because it says in Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. In the same manner that God has highly exalted Christ (Philippians 2:9), we will also be exalted because of RIGHTEOUSNESS (Proverbs 14:34; 1 Corinthians 1:30). THE FOLLOWING VERSES FURTHER SUPPORT THAT THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST IS, OR SHALL BE CALLED RIGHTEOUSNESS: John 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. Romans 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 1 Peter 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
