OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS
This generation has enjoyed the best of God so far. But God still has so much of his mercy to bestow on us. This made Him become our righteousness. The righteous is the one who can enjoy the best from God. The righteous is the one who has a right standing with God. They are the ones who in God’s presence are qualified. The truth is that you can hardly find a man who will be qualified by all standards before the Lord. That is why God Himself has become our righteousness. You only cannot continue in sin and still have the righteousness of God (Romans 6:1).
He has given us His righteousness through the Lord Jesus Christ. This is called imputed righteousness (Romans 4:6). The moment a man believes in the Lord Jesus Christ; he has this righteousness. This is not by our making but by the mercy of God (Romans 4:7-8). It is paid for by the death and the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Friend,
this is the reason why you should not allow the enemy to put you at any corner
of condemnation (Romans 8:1). As a child of God, you should not live a life of
sin. If not, you will lose this grace (Romans 6: 1). To enjoy the grace to stop
sinning, know that God is a just God who will punish everyone who lives in sin.
If Christ was punished for your sin, then you cannot keep sinning, else you
will be punished. But if you sin, confess them to God and repent of them and
you will be forgiven (1 John 1:7-9). And that is all. Never live your life
under the torment of condemnation. Don’t listen to the lies of the devil. You
can now freely pray and God will answer. You can freely worship God and you
will be acceptable. God by His righteousness has covered your sin with the
blood of Jesus. The enemy has no right over your life. God has become your
righteousness.
Prayer:
Lord, help me to always enjoy the confidence of your righteousness.
“WHEN
GOD BECOMES YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, YOU CAN NO MORE ABIDE IN SIN”
