The Gift Of Righteousness – Part 8
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 8 – Righteousness is received by grace through faith. Jesus Christ came and paid the full penalty for our sin. When we hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we realize that we are sinners in need of a Savior. When we repent and receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior we are made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Receiving Christ Jesus moves us from a place of wrath to a place of right standing. As believers in Christ, we are at peace with God. Romans chapter 5 verses 6 through 11 give us such a great description of how Christ redeemed us from wrath. This message will strengthen your understanding of your righteous position in Christ.
