Romans 10:3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.
Let’s take a look at the righteousness of God so that we do not fall into the same category as the children of Israel, who were ignorant of the righteousness of God.
The righteousness of God refers to His faithfulness and His truthfulness. It means that Father God is always consistent in His own nature and promises. Righteousness is who He is, and because He is righteous, everything He says and does is right. He does not look outside Himself to find what is right. There is no circumstance or anyone outside Father God who dictates to Him righteousness or the right thing to do.
We see in the Word that by one man’s offense, sin and death entered mankind. Therefore, the righteousness of God sent Jesus, the one man, to be the propitiation for our sins. In other words, by one man’s obedience, Jesus, we have been made righteous, put in right standing with God, and totally accepted in the Beloved by our Father God. Now, Father God can deal with us and treat us as if we have never sinned. Praise the Lord!
Abraham said, “Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?” The answer is yes, all the time. The Lord is faithful to His Word all the time. The Lord fulfills His Word all the time. The Lord’s nature is righteousness, and He never falls short of who He is. Please receive with me the truth of the Word of God: As Jesus is, so are we in this world. (from 1 John 4:17)
Prayer:
Father, I believe Your Word, and Your Word says that as Jesus is, so am I in this world. I believe that and I receive it. I thank You for the grace to walk in Your truth today. I believe I am just like Jesus in this world today.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
Brother John
