REVELATION OF THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS. Pt 1.

Romans 3:21-26 (KJV) But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Romans 1:16-17; 4:3-22; 5:17-21; 6:13-20; 9:30-31; 10:1-10; Ephesians 4:24; Galatians 2:20-21.

Today we begin a new series of study on the mystery of the blood of Jesus titled THE REVELATION OF THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS and all its blessings and benefits to us:

1. WHAT IS THE MEANING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS:
The word righteousness comes from the Greek word which means right standing with God by creation, position, character and action. 2Corinthians 5:21 (KJV) 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. By the blood of Jesus, God made Christ to be sin for us, so that we can be righteous. Sin is the opposite of righteousness. Through the blood, Jesus became unrighteousness so that we can become the righteousness of God. This is part of the great substitutionary work of the blood of Christ. By the blood of Jesus every believer have been made righteous. To be righteous is to have a right standing with God. To be seen as upright with God. Through the blood of Jesus we are not only upright with God but we are made upright in God. For in Christ Jesus the righteousness of God is not only with us but in us and for us.

Righteousness is the next level of promotion that God gave to man after he was justified. It's like a convicted criminal that not only received a state pardon but was also immediately given a position at the presidency that qualifies him to sit at the right hand next to the president. As a believer you are at the right hand of God in Christ. You are God's right hand person. And the right hand of God is a place of power and authority. Being the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus is based on our sonship in Him. The right hand of the king belongs to the Son and heir to the throne. I pray for that your light that has been hid for a long time shall begin to shine from today in Jesus name. Ephesians 2:4-6; 2Corinthians 6:14; Colossians 1:13.

2. JESUS CHRIST THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD REVEALED:
Jesus Christ is the only righteousness of God revealed. To be righteous is God placing you in Christ, with the same life, same position, same status as son and heir to the throne of God. We are righteous because God has placed us in Christ who is called the righteousness of God. You are righteous always because you are the righteousness of God in Christ, not in yourself. You are righteous always in Christ because righteousness is an integral part of our new nature in the new creation. Ephesians 4:24 (KJV) says And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. In Christ Jesus you are the most upright person. God sees you in the eyes of His righteousness in Christ. This your right standing does not increase or decrease. It is a place you occupy as the body of Christ not because of your actions or service to God. I pray for you that against all odds you shall succeed in Jesus name. Galatians 3:27-29; Romans 8:17; Ephesians 2:24; Colossians 3:10: John 1:12-13.

The bottom line of all what we are saying is that God wants you to begin to see yourself in the eyes and light of all that the blood of Jesus has done for you and has made you, and no more in your fleshly natural sin nature so that you can begin to enjoy the fullness of the blessings of the mystery of the blood of Jesus which includes eternal life and freedom from sin, sickness, diseases, poverty, demonic oppression, fear, doubts, anxieties and death.

If you need healing the bible says In Matthew 8:17 that Jesus Himself took all our sicknesses and diseases. Therefore you can receive your healing now by faith in the name of Jesus. Just lay your hand on the affected area and say this prayer. Father God in the name of Jesus I believe that Jesus died for my healing. I believe He took all my sickness and diseases on the cross. If He took them, then I cannot have them. Therefore I resist and I reject every sickness in my body and I confess Jesus today as my healer and I receive my healing now. Thank you Jesus that I am healed. 1Peter 2:24; Ps 107:20.
Now begin to do what you couldn't do before because of the sickness. You are healed in Jesus name.

You can also become a born again child of God. The bible says If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9-10; John 1:12.

Say this prayer: O God have mercy on me. I come to you today in the name of Jesus. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that He died for me. I believe that you raised Him from the dead for my salvation from all the powers of the devil. I accept Jesus in my heart today and I confess Him today as my Lord and Saviour. Thank you Father that today I am saved In Jesus name.

Jesus is coming very soon. Are you ready? Heaven is real, hell is real. Choose Jesus, choose life.
If you prayed this prayer of Salvation, please go to a nearby bible believing Church in your area, so you can grow in the grace of our Lord Jesus. Grace be with you.

Grace be with you.
