Righteousness: Divinity Manifested In Humanity
But now the righteousness of God without the law
is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the
prophets (Romans 3:21).
Righteousness has been rightly described as
right standing with God. But there’s another
description; it’s the rightness of God at work in the
human person—divinity manifested in humanity. Put
more succinctly, righteousness is God’s life and love
at work in you.
It’s a fact of the Gospel that the Father has given
us His own righteousness; we can now stand in His
presence without guilt, condemnation or inferiority.
He’s given us His rightness, His ability to do right, so
we can live in consonance with Him. We don’t have
to struggle to please Him; it’s our life and nature now
to live before Him in righteousness and true holiness
(Ephesians 4:24).
Romans 5:1 says, “Therefore being justified by
faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus
Christ:” Now, we think, talk and act the same way. The
Bible says,”…they which receive abundance of grace
and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by
one, Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:17). Our right standing
with God gives us the ability to reign as kings in this
present world. We reign over demons, over this world
and its systems.
Besides, not only did God make us righteous, He
did something else which is so powerful and mindblowing.
2 Corinthians 5:21 says, “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.” Jesus
took our place of sin and made us His righteousness.
We’re thus the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
Amazing!
This means we’re now the unveiling of the Father’s
righteousness; the manifestation and outworking of His
righteousness. When you step into a matter, you’re
not there to decide who is wrong and who is right;
rather, you bring forth the judgments of God. You’re
His righteousness manifested, and the unveiling of His
glory. Blessed be God!
Confession
Praise God forevermore! I’m the unveiling of the Father’s
righteousness, the manifestation a n d o u t w o r k i n g o f H i s
righteousness. His wisdom and sound judgment are heard and
seen in me; I’m the effulgence of His glory. I reign and rule in life
through His righteousness in my spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
