  in order to flourish and produce salvation.

  21). The righteousness in which grace reigns
  is not Christs personal righteousness, which
  some teach is arbitrarily and unconditionally
  imputed to the sinner, but mans humble
  submission to Jesus teaching and Lordship (Luke
  6 46, cp. Ps. 119 172).
