The Gift Of Righteousness - Part 1
May 5, 2024 • Pastor Sean McFarlane
Part 1 - Rom 5:17 (NKJV) - 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. In the first message in the series Pastor Sean begins by giving definition to what righteousness is.
Righteousness – Is the state of being right or justified. This is the ability to stand in the presence of the Father without the sense of guilt or inferiority as if sin never existed. It is right standing with God. It is uprightness. It is being justified and it is not a feeling it is a position.
Justified – means to render innocent. To declare guiltless. To pronounce acceptable.
