We have much to learn about righteousness. We as Christians misunderstand much about righteousness. Our enemy, satan wants us to believe we aren’t and can’t be righteous. Our Lord and Savior Jesus, blesses us with righteousness when we first believe and receive salvation, and the Holy Spirit. The fact is, God has made Christians righteous through faith in Jesus Christ. Righteousness is not self-righteousness. It is not earned. It is not being right. It is not being perfect. It is our position before God, with the blood of Christ as our covering. So we are righteous in Him. We miss so many blessings and so much empowerment from God, because we play this performance game about our righteousness. We need to get in touch with our righteousness and do better at who we are in Him, again, not to earn anything.
We will have thirteen devotionals on this subject. So let’s get ready to learn and grow together.
1. The Lord gives sound wisdom to the righteous. Proverbs 2:7
2. The righteous know the Lord’s secrets. Proverbs 3:32
3. The Lord keeps them from stumbling. Proverbs 4:12
4. Righteousness will deliver him from death. Proverbs 10:2
5. The righteous shall not hunger. Proverbs 10:3
What I am learning today is that I need to exercise my faith, and stand in righteousness, in Him. This is extremely convicting. We must consider who we are in Him more often, and our lives would reflect it. Chew on the truths.
In Him,
Pastor Fred
