2 Corinthians 5:21
For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.


Some Christians believe that they have to work at becoming more righteous. And they kick themselves when they do wrong. They don’t realize that by doing these things, they are not seeking God’s righteousness, but are trying to establish their own righteousness by their law-keeping and right conduct.
Righteousness is not about right conduct. It is a gift from God to us through Jesus. And since it is a gift, we cannot earn it by our law-keeping and right conduct. We can only receive it!

How do we receive this gift? We receive it through the cross. God made Jesus “who knew no sin to be sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in Him”. So today, we are the righteousness of God in Christ. We are as righteous as Jesus is!

But some of us think that in the body of Christ, there are different classes of righteousness, like the seating classes in an airplane. They think that some of us have economy-class righteousness, others have business-class righteousness and a select few have first-class righteousness.

That is nonsense! When God gave us Jesus, He became our righteousness. So we have His righteousness. This means that we are 100 per cent righteous in God’s eyes! We cannot but have first-class righteousness!

You might say, “Pastor Prince, I don’t understand. How can I be righteous when I have done wrong?” Think about this: Jesus, who knew no sin, became sin for us. Jesus knew no sin, did no sin and in Him was no sin. But at the cross, He received our sin and became sin for us.

Likewise, we, who were sinners, knew no righteousness, did no righteousness and in us was no righteousness. But at the cross, we received His righteousness and became the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

At the cross, the divine exchange took place. Jesus took our place so that we might take His place. He did not deserve to be made sin, but He was made sin in our place. We did not deserve to be made righteous, but we were made righteous because we received His righteousness. What good news! What amazing grace!

Thought For The Day

We have first-class righteousness which we received as a gift through Jesus.

Alright, concerning your question of a slave trader being a Believer and still remain a believer? That's where you misunderstood me, my post up there is written to believers in Christ, and who is a believer in Christ?
A Believer in Christ is someone who has put his whole trust on the finished work of Christ. Someone that believes that Jesus Christ is the son of God, who came to the world and died for his sins and God raised Him up on the 3rd day for his Justification. That is a Believer in Christ and this person is now indwelt by the Holy Spirit as a guarantee pending his day of redemption ( bodily redemption i. e Rapture ). He might fall and stumble sometimes but he has the Holy Spirit to guide and direct his pact.

Mind you, a Believer in Christ is different from a church goer oo, spot the difference. A church goer is someone who knows that Christ exists, goes to church because he was born into Christianity but don't acknowledge Jesus Christ as his Lord and personal saviour. He just practices Religion but doesn't have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Spot the difference. Most of my posts are addressed to Believers in Christ not Church Goers.

So you mean for example,the prostîtute @parisbookaddict is as righteous as Jesus(AS) the Slave of Allah,not the arm robber one.

Re: You Have First Class Righteousness - Joseph Prince by breakingbad(m): 2:01pm On May 15, 2016
Why are Christians of nowadays so preoccupied with watering down the issue of sin? Pls stopeeeet. Preaching the Gospel we haven't done effectively yet we are busy bringing diversions and giving ppl licences to kwontinu sinning. Someone reads this and says to himself "I can remain a Vaseline crew member and still retain my first class ticket to heaven" IMO heaven has classes oo. U can't expect a new convert to have same ticket with a veteran soul winner. Classes go dey: 1st class, 2.1, 2.2 and let my people go
