Jesus is our Righteousness.
Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of RIGHTEOUSNESS, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing. 2Timothy.4:8
RIGHTEOUSNESS. : in the Greek dikaiosune ( Strong. 1343 ) The Character or Quality of being right. It is used to denote an attribute of God. This Righteousness is unattainable by obedience to any law, or by any merit of man’s own, or any other condition than that of faith in Christ.
And be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through Faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by Faith. Philippians.3:9
Jesus is our Righteousness.
For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the Righteousness of God in Him. 2Corinthians.5:21
But to him who doe’s not work but believes on Him who justifie’s the ungodly, his Faith is accounted for Righteousness. Romans.4:5
If we have the Righteousness of Christ, which was implanted within us by God through faith, Righteousness will rule in our lives, we will live a righteous life. For if by the one man’s offence 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. Romans.5:17 You will rule in life.
For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law, but under Grace. Romans.6:14 Grace has set you free from sin. Romans.6:18
The abundance of Grace that you received from God, enables you to present yourselves to God, as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of Righteousness to God. Romans.6:13
And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of Righteousness, so now present your members, as slaves of Righteousness for Holiness. Romans.6:18-19 “……..as slaves of Righteousness forHoliness.” When we receive Christ’s Righteousness, it leads us to Holiness. His Righteousness is to become the motivation for Christian holiness, in our conduct and action. We have to be obedientchildren to our Spiritual Father. As the word teaches us. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of Spirits and live. Hebrews.12:9
As obedient children not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance, but as He who called you is Holy, you also be Holy in all your conduct, because it is written, be Holy for I’am Holy. 1Peter.1:14-16 17-19 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is life because of Righteousness. Romans.8:10
The new life, begins with the Righteousness of Christ, we have to continue to walk before God and man in divine Righteousness. As the word of God warns us. Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices Righteousness is Righteous, just as He is Righteous. 1John.3:10
Jesus is our Righteousness: In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest. Whoever doe’s not practice Righteousness is not of God, nor is he who doe’s not love his brother. 1John.3:10
Lets Manifest Jesus.
