The Gift Of Righteousness – Part 3
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 3 – We are righteous in Christ Jesus! What a privilege and blessing as believers. All through the New Testament there is reference to eternal (positional) truth and temporal truth. Positional truth in the Scriptures deals with who we are in Christ or who we are in the spirit. Temporal truth deals with the application of positional truth in this life, living from the supply of grace by faith. In this message we look at the importance of understanding the nature of mankind, that we are a spirit, we possess a soul, and we live in a body. To walk in the fullness of righteousness we must understand this subject.
