Christ and His Righteousness

Ellet Joseph Waggoner (1855 – 1916) was a leading Seventh-day Adventist preacher and writer. 


In his famous book Christ and His Righteousness, he writes, 


"Christ has been set forth by God as the One through whom forgiveness of sins is to be obtained; and this forgiveness consists simply in the declaration of His righteousness (which is the righteousness of God) for their remission. God, “who is rich in mercy” (Eph. 2:4), and who delights in it, puts His own righteousness on the sinner who believes in Jesus, as a substitute for his sins. Surely, this is a profitable exchange for the sinner, and it is no loss to God, for He is infinite in holiness, and the supply can never be diminished."
