Ahh

Ahh, Sunday ... the best day of the week to be “re-righteoused”. I use to wonder how on earth can I go so wrong in one short week. I can go from slightly askew to a great big falling short of the glory of God. Don't you just know not too many of us need a revelation of how sinful we are? I know when I sin ... don't you? I am the classic snapper --- like one of those snippy little dogs. Before you know what happened you are missing a head. I married a classic volcano and together we created four beautiful children. Sweet & proud smile. Ok, so we all need Jesus. The one thing we can all count on when we are acting out of our sin nature is the creepy one (devil) will remind us of our sins. Even friends and loved ones sometimes point out our sins. What you need, instead, is a revelation of how forever righteous you are in God’s eyes, especially when you sin.

It is not what you do that makes you righteous. It is what Christ has done at Calvary. Romans 5:19 says, “For as by one man’s [Adam] disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.” It is the obedience of one Man — Christ — and not your obedience, that has made you righteous!

A pearl to string: When you are conscious of this gift of righteousness that is everlasting, you will live as a person saved from death! You'll learn to be guided by the Holy Spirit and not be run over by sin, bad habits, sicknesses, lack or anything that holds you back from a victorious life!

2 Corinthians 5:21 "He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him".
