Christ Jesus The Righteousness Of God by bummyla(m): 8:58pm On Nov 19, 2017
“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
Righteousness is right standing with God without any sense of sin, condemnation or inferiority. That was what you were made the moment you received the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. You did not work for it; it was bestowed on you. You are now righteous; you do not do anything to become righteous. It is a gift from God to you so that you can reign over the circumstances of life Romans 5:17. You are qualified to enter Gods presence and live your life as if sin never existed.
You need to meditate over this fact until you become one with it, because in it lies your victory. All that you will ever attain depends on your understanding of this fact. You were made righteous, not by works but by faith. You have absolutely nothing to do about it.
Jesus is our perfect example. He never lived His life here with the sense of sin. Sin makes a coward out of a believer; it causes you to drop your shoulders and rob you of your boldness. The Apostle Paul understanding the effect of sin consciousness said “There is therefore Now No Condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus” – Romans 8:1. Notice the word “NOW”; it implies that you were condemned before and doomed for hell, but the moment you accepted Jesus into your life, the course of things changed. NOW, there is no condemnation for you. By being the righteousness of God, you have the right to pray and expect an answer. Rejoice that the sin problem has been dealt with by righteousness. Declare it that you are righteous.
