HAVE A CONSCIOUSNESS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

Romans 10:4 (KJV, NLT, LB)

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth. For Christ has already accomplished the purpose for which the law was given.As a result, all who believe in him are made right with God.They don’t understand that Christ gives to those who trust in him everything they are trying to get by keeping his laws. He ends all of that.

God does not define righteousness by the obeying of the Law, but by our having faith in Christ. Romans 3:21-22 (GNB) says, “But now God’s way of putting people right with himself has been revealed. It has nothing to do with law, …. God puts people right through their faith in Jesus Christ. God does this to all who believe in Christ, …” If you believe in Jesus, you are righteous. It is when you believe that you are righteous that you will be able to live a righteous life.

There is a divine exchange that took place on the Cross. Christ took our place and became our sin, so that we can take His place and become His righteousness, (2Cor.5:21). Jesus has forgiven and taken away all your sins. God has no record of them and He will never have a record of them, (Jer.31:34, Heb.8:12). “For God was in Christ, restoring the world to himself, no longer counting men’s sins against them but blotting them out.

This is the wonderful message he has given us to tell others”, (2Cor.5:19, LB). God’s righteousness is a gift that comes along with His grace in Christ and He wants you to receive it abundantly, (Rom.5:17). By your faith in Christ, you now stand before God, man and the devil without a single sense of guilt or inferiority. You are perfect in the sight of God (Heb.10:14) and you have a right to all of the power and the blessings and the glory of God.

Faith Declaration:*
My faith in Christ has made me righteous. I manifest God’s righteousness and I have a right to the fullness of God.
