REVELATION OF THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS. Part 16

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.
Romans 5:17 (KJV) For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
Romans 3:21-26; 4:3-22; 5:17-21; 6:13-20; 9:30-31; 10:1-10; Ephesians 4:24; Galatians 2:20-21.

Let's continue from where we stopped last time on the meaning of Righteousness and all its blessings and benefits to us:.

25. RIGHTEOUSNESS IS PERMANENT AND ETERNAL:
Positionally our righteousness in Christ Jesus is not temporary but permanent and eternal in Christ Jesus not in ourselves. It cannot be lost. It is as permanent as the new birth and can only be lost if you lose your salvation in Christ Jesus. Righteousness is not just an external thing but an inward spiritual truth. It is part of the nature of the new man. The bible says in Ephesians 4:24 (KJV) And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.. It is once and for all. Righteousness is not something you have to work to maintain, it is a state of being. We are the righteousness of God not by what we have done but because of our position in the redemptive work of the blood of Jesus and who we are in Him. For in Him we live, we move and we have our being. As He is in heaven so are we in this world.

As a result the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus does not grow and does not diminish. We may grow in practical righteousness or grow in faith in our righteousness in Christ Jesus but not in our position in Christ. There is no where in the new testament we are told to grow in righteousness or to pray to be more righteous or desire to be more righteous. We are only told to pray to walk in it, live by it, and bear fruits of righteousness, but not to grow. And there is no where we are advised or admonished to ensure we do not lose our righteousness. Righteousness is a positional truth we have in Christ being members of His body regardless of our circumstances.

Your head cannot be more righteous than any other part of your body. They all share in one and same righteousness. But we are commanded to bear fruits of righteousness at all times. In this case some people may be more fruitful than others but that does not make them more righteous. Fruits of righteousness includes faith, love, holiness, obedience, service unto God and other fruit of the spirit. Ephesians 4:24; 2Corinthians 5:21; Colossians 2:9-10; Acts 17:28; Philippians 1:11; Ephesians 4:24; Titus 3:5-8; Galatians 5:22-23; 1Cor 15:36; Romans 10:1-10; 2Cor 3:9.

The purpose 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.
