Romans 4:5 But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness, What do you think righteousness is about? Something you do or something you are? Right doing or right being ? The Bible tells us that after Jesus’ sacrifice at the cross, God imputes righteousness not to those who strive to obey the law (Galatians 2:16), but to anyone who believes in His Son. Because Christ took our sins and gave us His righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21), the moment we believe in Him, God treats us as righteous apart from our works or obedience. (Romans 4:5– ![]() You are not righteous because of how morally upright you are. You are not righteous because you exercise self-control. You are not righteous because you read 10 chapters of the Bible daily. You are not righteous because you feel righteous. But you are the very righteousness of God in Christ solely because the sacrifice of Jesus made you so. When you believe this, your faith is accounted for righteousness. And this is what God wants you to use your faith for. If you are righteous by your deeds, you don’t need faith. You also don’t need faith to know that you are sinful. But you need faith to believe and declare that you are the righteousness of God in Christ, in the midst of your struggles with temptation and sin. For example, when you feel lousy because you have just shouted at your wife, God wants you to exercise your faith to see yourself as still righteous in the midst of that failure. This living revelation that you are still righteous will give you the strength to love your wife and reconcile things with her. The devil may remind you of your foul temper and question your integrity: “How dare you call yourself righteous when you just did that!” Just ignore his lies and boldly declare, “I am not righteous because of what I have done or not done. I am righteous only because of the blood and finished work of Jesus at the cross!” Thought For The Day You are the very righteousness of God in Christ solely because the sacrifice of Jesus made you so. www.josephprince.org/daily-grace/grace-inspirations/single/righteousness-is-not-right-doing-but-right-being/ 23 Likes 2 Shares |

jiggaz:Usually because of Joseph Prince's WoF predispositions, whenever I decide to partake in any of his message bowls, I cautiously and carefully eat the grains and without hesistation quickly spit OUT straws caught in between, however on this ocassion I subscribe wholeheartedly to this brilliant message article of his and fully endorse it. Found no straw in the grains, Joseph Prince on this one, completely nailed it. Then he believed in the LORD; and He reckoned it to him as righteousness - Genesis 15:6 For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness." - Romans 4:3 So also, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness - Galatians 3:6 And the Scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," and he was called a friend of God. - James 2:23 As is noted in Genesis 15:6 etcetera, righteousness apparently is joined at the hip with ''believing the LORD'' or ''believing the word, report, etcetera of the LORD'' where ''believing the LORD'' or ''believing the word, report, etcetera of the LORD'' is synonymous with FAITH Righteousness, can also have the same meaning as approval too, where approval is gained from ''simultaneously doing the right thing, at the right time and still standing on God's right hand side'' I have singled him out so that he will direct his sons and their families to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just. Then I will do for Abraham all that I have promised." - Genesis 18:19 NLT The righteousness credited to Abraham in Genesis 15:6 etcetera, the righteousness enjoyed by Abraham is not the ultimate righteousness. It is not the supreme approval but the righteousness of God in Christ is The righteousness of God in Christ is like a Seal of Approval stamped on all that believe in God. It is a divine indication that all that believe in God, all that believe in every word of God are looked at as accepted and/or looked at favourably The righteousness of God in Christ, is a ready to wear, off the shelf, off the peg, off the rack, ready-made ''God approval via Christ'' superimposed on every believer, so that God, ONLY & ALWAYS, sees the perfection of Christ in every believer, instead of seeing the believers' imperfections, shortcomings, weaknesses, limitations, failings etcetera Every one that believes, has the ''Righteousness of God in Christ'', no limits, FREE credit, lodged in their account ''Righteousness of God in Christ'' is not earned, is not worked for but it is something given 6 Likes |

Our righteousness is like a filthy rag before God It's God's grace that can make us righteous |

Now the question is, can there be right being without right doing? I cant claim I'm being right while I'm doing wrong can I? How then can one seperate right being from right doing?? ![]() 4 Likes |

Beautiful piece... This is a message the devil is trying so hard to prevent from circulating because he knows it will only make Christians stronger In Christ as we will become solely dependent on Him and the works He has done for us. Beautiful! 3 Likes 1 Share |

Use grammar to vague all they say and then tell us we need some deeper understanding to crack the knowledge. I wonder how crazier one can get. Jesus taught in the simplest of structures, yet diz self acclaimed holier than saints come here to give me puzzles to solve. Keep it up... |

Re: Righteousness Is Not Right Doing But Right Being - Joseph Prince by embodiment: 7:39am On Nov 13, 2016 |
I understand righteousness to mean right standing with God. In other words it means having a good stance with God. God's righteousness is imputed and imparted as a gift to man but cannot be earned. The righteousness of God is the right which God has upon man. In order for man to recognize and fully submit to the right of God upon his life, he must receive God who offers himself or his righteousness to man as a gift. You can claim to do all the right's but may not have a good stance in God. Being a moralist doesn't make you righteous. It only makes you an individual with good ethics. Like I stated ab initio righteousness is not earned but a gift 2 Likes 1 Share |
