Let His Righteousness Reign Through You
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is
made unto us wisdom, and righteousness,
and sanctification, and redemption (1 Corinthians 1:30).
Righteousness is the expression of the will
and nature of the Father. This is because to
express righteousness and goodness, God reveals
His nature and will to man; He’s the judge, and by
His very nature, He decides what’s good or evil, right
or wrong. Therefore, His revelation of Himself, His
nature, His character, and His will, is the expression
of righteousness.
In the days of Moses, the Israelites had to read
the Law to know right or wrong; but that’s not for the
new creation in Christ! In Jeremiah 31:33, the Lord
said, “…I will put my law in their inward parts, and
write it in their hearts….” This has already happened
for us in Christ Jesus: righteousness is now in your spirit.
Romans 8:2-4 tells us, “...For what the law could not
do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending
his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin,
condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness
of the law might be fulfilled in us….”
Today, not only has God made us His righteous
ones, we give vent to His righteousness; we unveil and
express His righteousness. The people of the world
are to look at you, and know what rightness is. We
bear fruits of righteousness, because we’re the trees
of righteousness (Isaiah 61:3). Let righteousness reign
through you; give expression to God’s best in your life.
Decide that the life of Christ will be fully expressed
through you, and that you’ll be effective in fulfilling
His purpose in the earth.
Jesus said, “Ye are the light of the world...”
(Matthew 5:14); you’re the one to establish His
Kingdom, and the reign of His righteousness where you
are. You’re His representative and His representation.
What an amazing reality!
Confession
I’m found in Him, not having my own righteousness,
which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ,
the righteousness which is of God by faith.
This righteousness produces in me the rightness of God,
and the ability to do right and fulfil the will of the Father always!
Hallelujah.
