REVELATION OF THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS. Part 19.

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:.

28. THE LAW WAS NOT GIVEN TO ATTAIN RIGHTEOUSNESS:
The law in the old testament was not given by God for man to attain righteousness. The law was given to point man to the grace of the blood of Jesus symbolised in the animal sacrifices. Righteousness is only in the blood not in the law. The animal sacrifice was given to them knowing they can not keep the law. The blood sacrifice was to wash away all their failures in the law and impute righteousness to them. The law imputed sin on people instead of righteousness because in the law is the knowledge of sin. But the grace of the blood of Jesus in the new testament does not impute righteousness but makes the believer the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

The law was given to Israel to show them that they were hopeless sinners who need to trust only in the righteousness of the blood of atonement offered once a year for all their sins. Instead the Israelites trusted in the law instead of the blood. Just like today we must trust only in the blood of Jesus not in our works of righteousness. The Israelites missed God and rejected their messiah Jesus because they were trying to attain righteousness through the law of Moses. They were trying to earn righteousness when it was supposed to be a gift. Jesus came as a gift of righteousness to all men who believe. Hallelujah! In the name of Jesus I break the power of the enemy over your life today. Hallelujah! Romans 3:10,19-26; 9:6-8, 30-33; 10:1-13; Galatians 3:1-29; Romans 5:13; 2Corinthians 5:21; Leviticus 16.

29. Righteousness is not a gradual process you get to attain. Righteousness is an instant gift that comes together with the salvation package. Without righteousness there is no new birth, no new creation and no new creatures. The just shall live by faith is the same as saying the righteous shall live by faith because in the Greek the word righteousness and the word justification comes from the same root word. You live by faith in Jesus and God the father who made you righteous since you were not redeemed or justified by your own works.

Righteousness is living by faith in whatever God tells you in His word not in what you are able to do for God. Righteousness is who you are, not who you become or what you try to become. Righteousness is not a thing but a person. Jesus is the personification of righteousness, only in Him is righteousness. A believer is righteous because we are in Christ. 2Corinthians 5:17; Romans 1:16-17; John 1:12-13; 3:3; 1Peter 2:9-10; Philippians 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.
