YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS— A GIFT OF
GRACE

~ Thursday, May 29th- Pastor
Anita.

For he hath made him to be sin for us,
who knew no sin; that we might be
made the righteousness of God in him
(2 Corinthians 5:21).

When you’re born again, you become
the righteousness of God in Christ
Jesus. Sadly, many really don’t
understand what righteousness is.
Righteousness implies conformity with,
or to, the will and nature of God. This
will and nature of God must be
received, learned, or discovered
through the revelation of, or from,
God. Furthermore, righteousness is the
outworking of divine grace, granting
acceptance, liberty and rights to the
human spirit in the presence of God.
Now this is so powerful, because it
begins to explain the legality of our
righteousness in Christ Jesus. The
grace of God has given us this
righteousness: "That as sin hath
reigned unto death, even so might
grace reign through righteousness unto
eternal life by Jesus Christ our
Lord" (Romans 5:21). John 1:17 says,
"For the law was given by Moses, but
grace and truth came by Jesus Christ."
Romans 5:17 says, "For if by one man’s
offence death reigned by one; much
more they which receive abundance of
grace and of the gift of righteousness
shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ."
Your righteousness is a gift of grace
delivered to you in Christ Jesus. This
gift has already been given, but only
those that receive (Greek: "lambano"),
that is, take a hold of it, shall reign in
life. Thus, it’s your responsibility to
accept your righteousness in Christ.
This righteousness gives you
acceptance in the presence of God,
such that, you now have the right and
ability to stand before Him without
guilt, condemnation or inferiority. This
is all as a result of what Christ did on
your behalf.
It really doesn’t matter who you are,
where you’ve been, what you’ve done,
or how deep in the dungeon or in the
valley you’ve been; accept His
righteousness.This will place you at
liberty to express yourself and to be
yourself in His presence, and enjoy
your rights and privileges in Christ.

PRAYER;
Dear Father, I thank you for giving me
your righteousness as a gift, and
inspiring in me the consciousness that
I’m as righteous as Jesus is righteous.
Today, I reign and rule by grace
through righteousness, as I boldly take
advantage of my right-standing with
you, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Philippians 3:9
And be found in him, not having mine
own righteousness, which is of the law,
but that which is through the faith of
Christ, the righteousness which is of
God by faith:
Isaiah 54:17
No weapon that is formed against thee
shall prosper; and every tongue that
shall rise against thee in judgment thou
shalt condemn. This is the heritage of
the servants of the LORD, and their
righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
