center of every part of my life every day, I will end up living right!
Today’s Prayer
Lord Jesus, thank You for the gift of eternal life. I can never praise You enough for choosing the cross for me and for redeeming me with Your precious blood. I believe in You. I believe that all my sins have been imputed to You and all Your righteousness has been imputed to me. And I believe that when I set my eyes on You and You alone as my righteousness, I will end up producing the fruits of righteousness, holiness, and moral character. Amen.
The Gracious Gift of Righteousness
Today’s Scripture
For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.
R OMANS 5:17
I f you struggle, as many believers do, with whether
you
deserve to be blessed, favored, and victorious, you are asking the wrong question.
The question you should be asking is, does
Jesus
deserve to be blessed, favored, and victorious? Because you are in Christ, having a blessed future is not contingent on how much you strive to be perfect or how hard you work at changing yourself. It is contingent on the person of Jesus.
The Bible proclaims, “as He is, so are we in this world” (1 John 4:17). Does Jesus deserve to be blessed, favored, and victorious? Then so do you! This is what being in Christ Jesus means. It means that today, God assesses you and sees you based on the perfection of Jesus Christ. Jesus’ righteousness is your righteousness. In fact, the Bible explains that because Jesus, who knew no sin, became sin for us, we are now the righteousness of God in Christ (see 2 Cor. 5:21).
“Righteousness” is a legal term. It means to have right standing before God.
Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words
defines righteousness as “that gracious gift of God to men whereby all who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ are brought into right relationship with God.” 2 In other words, your right standing before God is based upon Jesus’ right standing before God.
Today, you are as righteous as Jesus because your righteousness is from Him. He purchased it for you at the cross. When you received Him as your Lord and Savior, He took away all your unrighteousness once and for all and gave you
His
gift of righteousness. This righteousness is something that you can never obtain or achieve through your right doing; it can only be
received
by your right believing in Jesus.
And do you know what happens when you receive this gift of righteousness? The Bible declares that “those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ” (Rom. 5:17). Hey, when you reign, your addictions don’t. When you reign, sicknesses don’t. When you reign, fear, depression, and every obstacle that is obstructing you from living your life to the fullest will be torn down and flushed out!
Today’s Thought
Today, I am as righteous as Jesus because the righteousness I have is His own righteousness given to me as a gift.
Today’s Prayer
Father, thank You for Your abundant grace and gift of righteousness. Because of Jesus’ perfect work at the cross, You see and assess me based on His perfection. You see me clothed in Jesus’ righteousness and You bless me with what Jesus deserves. Help me to keep growing in the revelation of how my righteousness is a gift from You that can never be earned. I believe that as I keep receiving Your grace and gift of righteousness, You will cause me to reign over every challenge and bondage in my life. Amen.
