Walk In His Righteousness
“For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.” Romans 5:17-19
Are you righteous?
If you truly believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, then you have received and have His gift of righteousness!
Righteousness is a gift we receive when we come to saving faith!
Righteousness is not something we earn, but rather it is a gift to be received from the Lord.
According to Scripture, you have received the gift of righteousness through Him. Not because we have kept the “law” or lived a holy life. It can’t be bought with money, or earned through self-effort, or by doing “religious” works. It is a gift!
And in His free gift of righteousness, we have right standing with God! When you walk in His righteousness, then you can approach His throne boldly – expecting the Lord to answer!
The devil would love to bring up your sins and keep you bound thinking you can’t come to the Lord, however the Scripture is clear, “if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to CLEANSE US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS!” 1 John 1:9.
Don’t let the enemy bind you in sin, rather claim afresh and anew His gift of righteousness, approach His throne with boldness, and expect the Lord to answer – because you are walking in His gift of righteousness! Hallelujah!!
