Confessing Your Righteousness Pleases God
2 Corinthians 5:21
21For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
Do you know what happens each time you confess, "I am the righteousness of God in Christ"?
God the Father is pleased. When you confess that you are the righteousness of God in Christ, it reminds Him of what His Son has done for you to become righteous.
Also, by making you righteous, God is showing Himself righteous - "to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus". (Romans 3:26)
Each time Jesus hears you confess, "I am the righteousness of God in Christ," it brings much pleasure to His heart because you are laying hold of what He suffered and died to give you.
The Holy Spirit, who now indwells you to convict you of righteousness (John 16:10), rejoices when you confess, "I'm the righteousness of God in Christ." He is pleased when you flow with Him.
The delight of the Godhead is not the only thing you gain when you confess, "I am the righteousness of God in Christ." The Bible tells us that when you "seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, all these things shall be added to you". (Matthew 6:33)
Whether it is food, clothing or other necessities in life, "all these things" will be added to you. They will not just be given to you, but added to you as your inheritance when you seek first His righteousness.
You don't need to use your faith for every single need in life. You just need to use your faith for one thing - to believe that you are the righteousness of God in Christ, and it will cause all the blessings you seek to come after you and overtake you!
Hey hey. Been using the resources from the daily devotionals recently. Praise God he's resources are unlimited. :) Yea, and in the previous week, my emotions really thrashed me and gave me a hell of a week. It's stupid to follow your emotions. really. Yea, but Daddy's faithful, he'd showed me how much i needed His grace, and I'll be nothing without Him. And pride, Daddy, take it away. And everything i look into the mirror or my circumstances and see something i don't like and I'll start trying to console myself; it's pride. "I am the righteousness of God in Christ." See myself in Christ, how perfect he is, and I'll become like Christ. I am His righteousness, His beauty, His sheep, His non- existent temper, His beloved. Amen. And bochup. Thank God for Pastor Prince's ministries. When the devil asks, "So, what would you do?" I'll say, "NOTHING. My Daddy's fighting my battles for me." :) Imm has been a blessing to me yet again. Went to download "Voice of Truth" on limewire after reading the lyrics on his blog. I'll believe the voice of truth. I believe You, Daddy. Daddy, I pray for Your wisdom and a listening heart. I'm stupid as a sheep, and nothing without you, my good shepherd.
