22B “Let Him Be Righteous Still”

✨ Lesson 22 Part 2: “Let Him Be Righteous Still”

Standing Without a Mediator — The Sealing of Character

“Character development is said to be the most important work ever entrusted to human beings.”
— From Glory to Glory, L22 Part 2

Welcome to Part 2 of Lesson 22 in your From Glory to Glory journey. In this deeply reverent and stirring study, Pastor Stephen Wallace leads us through one of the weightiest realities of the Christian experience: the condition of God’s people between the close of probation and glorification—when we must stand without a Mediator.

With solemnity and clarity, this lesson confronts common misconceptions about righteousness, sanctification, and our standing before God. It emphasizes the distinction between being sinless and being sealed, teaching that the sealing represents not perfection in the flesh, but a love-fueled, irrevocable surrender to Christ’s Lordship—where one would rather die than knowingly sin.

Far from legalism or works-based salvation, the study anchors our security in Christ’s imputed righteousness—the only way any of us can be declared righteous before a holy God. Yet it simultaneously warns against the deception of claiming Christ’s righteousness while refusing His Lordship. We learn that the final verdict of “Let him be righteous still” is possible only for those who are also “holy still”—not because they are sinless, but because they are completely settled into truth and unshakably loyal to Christ.

What You’ll Learn:

  • The true meaning of the sealing—a settled, unshakable loyalty to Christ that precedes glorification

  • The difference between imputed and imparted righteousness—and the danger of trying to earn enough of the latter to “outgrow” the former

  • Why inbred sin remains until glorification—but no longer reigns in the life of the sealed

  • How the final verdict (“Let him be righteous still”) is a reward for irrevocable submission—not sinless performance

  • That Christ’s righteousness is not a temporary garment but an eternal covering

  • Why we still depend on grace even after probation closes

✍️ What to Expect in This Session:

Part 1

✅ Watch or read the full message
✅ Take a 5-question quiz
Reflect: Do I understand that my righteousness comes from Christ alone? Am I allowing Him to sanctify me daily, not out of fear, but from love?

Part 2

✅ Take the second quiz
✅ Engage with case studies on real-life surrender and spiritual growth
Share: What did you learn about God’s justice and mercy in this study? Did it reshape your understanding of the end-time sealing?

Before You Begin:

Pause to pray for discernment and humility. Ask the God to open your eyes to the beauty of grace-based sanctification—and to guard your heart from the traps of both legalism and cheap grace.

“We are signed, sealed, and just waiting to be delivered.”
— From Glory to Glory, L22 Part 2

This lesson ends with a final appeal:

God desires to pronounce this verdict over your life:

“He who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.”

But this can only happen if you choose Him—completely.
Come to the cross daily. Receive His blood and His Spirit. Let Him be both your Savior and your Lord.

Let the sealing begin.
