Good Morning Beauties!
In the next few days we will look at our righteousness, our "right standing" with God. Jesus' work on the cross provides us with a new name, the Righteousness of God.
Here's a simple definition of the term, "A person is adopted spiritually by the Father, accepts Jesus as his Lord and Savior, and is filled with the Holy Spirit and sealed by the Spirit until the day of redemption. The righteousness of God, in Christ, means that you are justified, declared righteous because you have had your sins cleansed by Jesus."
What does this term mean in your life? How do you define it? Do you spend time counting the rights and wrongs of your performance? How heavy is that burden?
The enemy lies to us and says, "Look at what you did! How can you call yourself righteous after all you've done?" The Truth is you ARE righteous, and your behavior does not determine it. Jesus’ work on the cross has done all the work necessary. You can stop counting now. Selah.
Love and Blessings,
Kendra
“ When it counts, I want to be found belonging to Him, not clinging to my own righteousness based on law, but actively relying on the faithfulness of the Anointed One. This is true righteousness, supplied by God, acquired by faith.”
