Paul's righteousness v Luther's righteousness

This is from B H Young's "Paul the Jewish Theologian"pp 81-82:

In large measure, Paul's use of the word righteousness is the source of the differing interpretations [regarding faith and works]. Luther understood it in the sense of the German word Gerechtigkeit, meaning "justification," or a position of right standing before God. I believe that this interpretation does not adequately deal with Paul's employment of the term in numerous contexts.

In fact, Paul would feel that he has been grossly misunderstood if the righteousness of God is interpreted to mean only a state of justification. Paul's problem was a believers problem. How is it possible to experience God's redemption in everyday life? Paul clearly states that the believer is to become a "slave of righteousness" for obedience (Rom 6.17). When the force of Paul's message is grasped, Luther's views become unsatisfactory. His concept is too static. Righteousness is so much more than a state of justification.

The life of righteousness is a dynamic experience! It is the power of God to live righteous lives of obedience. This is true redemption and salvation because it embraces the new life of following Jesus. As a path of salvation, the way of righteousness is experienced as a present reality that culminates in the Parousia. A supernatural strength enables the believer to participate in the redemptive movement -- the kingdom of God (Gal 5.21). For Paul, God's power is released through faith in Jesus.
