RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH

The standards of God's righteousness do not change.Infact, His constant glory remains unchangeable,however to the created beings,the revelations of his nature transforms their 
perspective towards His glory everyday.

No wonder the twenty four elders and the four creatures in heaven tire not as they worship IN HEAVEN....

Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain,
   to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength  and honor and glory and praise!” Revelation 5:11-12 Amen.


His outstanding glory and majesty amazes  all  the creation!!!

Back to our theme;righteousness,In this gospel, we find a big revelation... that the righteousness of

God is revealed to men through faith in Christ Jesus ...what  an amazing God,Jehovah is!He presents to us His own righteousness as a gift!

Romans 1:16 -17
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last,just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

It should be our greatest priority;to let Jesus clothe us with His righteousness because it is 
the garment that the Father delights in. 

Today you can choose to say yes to the righteousness of God and drop your religious life,religion will not save your soul from the wrath of God, neither will humanism,but Jesus will!He is God's righteousness revealed to humankind;

wake up  today and embrace his saving power,
Your shame will fade away from over,
His righteousness will like a shower,
Overwhelm your whole  life...

A little poetry may be...but I have said it all to you,you can never overcome sin with religion,don't you brag a lot much...this work was done long ago by Jesus at the Cross,accept this victory today and come out of your self-performance because it's totally by Faith in Christ Jesus that we attain the righteousness of God...

Finally lets check this scripture
Romans chapter 3:21-26
21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22 This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished 26 he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.

The message is now clearly driven home...no works but by faith...
Amen
