YOU ARE HOLY AND RIGHTEOUS

2Coritnhians 5:21 (TPT), 1Corinthians 6:11 (CEV)

For God made the only one who did not know sin to become sin for us, so that we who did not know righteousness might become the righteousness of God through our union with him. *Some of you used to be like that. But now the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and the power of God’s Spirit have washed you and made you holy and acceptable to God.

As a believer in Christ Jesus, you are holy and righteous; not because you feel you are, but because Jesus has made you so. Stop rejecting who Jesus has made you. All your sins have been forgiven and beyond this, your nature has been changed. You are now a new creature. You are not just a forgiven sinner, you are a justified saint. The old you has passed away. By your faith in Christ, God has made you as righteous as He is. Until you believe this, you will not be able to manifest works of righteousness. The Bible says, “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation,” (Rom.10:10). As you believe it and declare it, your mind will be renewed and your life will be transformed.

You are dead to sin, (Rom.6:1-7). You died to sin as you died with Christ on the Cross. God included you in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, (Eph.2:1-6). The more you realize and accept that you are dead to sin because of Christ, the more you will walk in victory over sin. The reason the ground around the burning bush was holy was not for another reason, but because God’s presence was there, (Exo.3:5). God lives in you now by His Spirit. Your body is His temple, (1Cor.6:19). Until you accept that you are holy, you will not be able to practise and mature in holiness, (2Cor.7:1).

Faith Declaration:
I am holy and righteous because God lives in me and Christ has forgiven and justified me. I am dead to sin.
