“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption” 1 Corinthians 1:30 KJV
Beloved, you have been made righteous in Christ. That is who you are. That is who He has made you. Being righteous means you have a right standing with God. And you need to know that the righteousness you received is everlasting. It is not temporary!  It is not something that comes and goes. The book of Daniel 9:24 tells us about an “everlasting righteousness”(NKJV). It is everlasting righteousness because God Himself packaged it. Beloved, God has made you righteous! He has sanctified you! He has redeemed you! You have His wisdom! And so, you cannot be confused about anything. You have His mind!
Look at what His Word says: “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”(2 Corinthians 5:21 KJV). Your salvation is not your idea; in fact, you had no hand in it. God chose you by Himself, paid the price and gave you the gift of righteousness. In the light of the foregoing, always remind yourself that you stand right with God, no matter what. You are always right with God.  Do you know why it is important that you get established in this truth?  It is because a clear understanding of this truth is what paralyzes the weapon of the enemy. This truth will keep you on top of that thing that is making you anxious. You will reign over it. Whenever the feeling of inferiority comes, you say: ‘Look it is taken care of’. You will not be afraid of anything because you know your stand in Christ.
Don’t attend church service, carry the bible, read it as a religious book, and not believe who the Word says you are? You must settle it in your heart that God cannot lie. He has made you righteous. So, walk in your righteousness. I will hear your testimony!!!
