The Gift Of Righteousness – Part 1
One of the greatest benefits of receiving Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior is that we become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Salvation in Christ is the great exchange. He took all our sin and unrighteousness, and we receive His perfection and righteousness.
Righteousness is one of those subjects in Scripture that is foundational to a successful Christian life. In order to walk in all the fullness of what Christ has provided for us in salvation we must understand this subject.
The objective in this series of teachings is to:
• Present a clear understanding as to what righteousness is.
• To discover the need for it and how it is attained.
• To build a righteousness consciousness in each of our lives.
• To show how righteousness effects our lives with God, people, and the devil.
• To reveal the fruits produced when we walk in our righteousness with God.
Rom 3:21 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; NKJV.
The Gift Of Righteousness 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.
