We are hid IN Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21)!! IN Christ we are the righteousness of God!! God does not see our sins when He looks at us, He sees Christ’s righteousness!! As I said earlier in a post I posted on Facebook, let’s not be sin conscious but grace conscious!! The Word tells us WE ARE the righteousness of God in Christ not going to be; we grow from glory to glory not become more righteous
– if you say you need to be more righteous,
you are saying Christ’s righteousness is not enough and that is NOT true!! What needs to happen is to believe what God has said and what Jesus has done and don’t allow a devil in hell or anywhere else to tell you differently; you either believe
God or you believe the devil or believe what your sin conscious mind tells you!!
The devil and people, if you allow them to, will have you in so much bondage you won’t know if you are
coming or going and you will go to church and the man or woman
of God will give you the Word of God and
you will say “They are not teaching
me the Word!” No, they are teaching you the Word
but
you are too confused
to receive the Word of God; you would
rather believe a lie than to believe God’s Servant!! As long as you allow people of the wrong spirit
(the gift of discernment will tell you – Holy Spirit will let you know IF you listen) and the enemy and even your own confused mind (which most of the times comes from your spiritual foundation – someone
told you something wrong growing up in church and you are still believing
it – allow God to get rid of all that old stuff you are holding
onto that is not His true doctrine) to keep feeding
you the wrong thing, you will
stay in bondage!!
You ARE NOW RIGHTEOUS because
of Christ,
no ifs, ands,
or buts; that is what the Word
of God says!! It does not matter how inadequate you feel,
how unworthy you feel, etc. you are still the righteousness of God in Christ!!
Jesus shed HIS
blood so you could become righteous; righteousness
cannot be earned because it is our gift through
the New Covenant (Jesus kept
the law; He fulfilled the law and gave us HIS righteousness (Romans 10:3, Philippians 3:9)!! Under the Old Covenant, the law, righteousness had to be attained by keeping the law perfectly
(Deuteronomy6:25-http://dailyrhema.blogspot.com/2007/03/69-you-are-righteousness- of-god-in.html) but now we are in a New Covenant (Hebrews 8:6) because of Jesus’
death, burial, and resurrection – Jesus’ blood (Luke 22:20) has satisfied the requirement of the law of the Old Covenant
and we are no longer under the law but under grace and truth (Romans 6)!! Romans 3:22 lets us know that “THIS righteousness is given through faith to ALL who believe...” (Emphasis
made by me)! We now have God’s laws imprinted on our hearts and
inscribed in our minds (Hebrews 10:16)!
May God continually open your eyes to
the Truth of His Word! God will keep His promises
to you!! Trust Him!!

Note: When I use
all caps, I am not yelling,
just emphasizing the point I am makingJ!
God does not beat people up
and make them feel like they are nobody and neither do I! I
am a servant of
God who writes
what He tells me to
write to His people! God bless!!
