Grace For You Today!
Encounter Jesus The King Of Glory and Receive His Righteousness!
“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.” Psalms 45:6 NKJV
In statistics , the standard deviation is a measure of variation to the mean (expected result)
So also, God’s expectation concerning man is God-kind Righteousness. He expects man to be as righteous as Him. God’s Righteousness in other words is Right standing with God. This is God’s standard!
In our view, Christian life is evaluated by how close we are to God or how far we are from God . However, whether we are close to God or far from God, there is still a deviation in both cases: Deviation from God’s Standard of Righteousness.
The nature of God is Righteousness. Either you are the very nature of God or you aren’t. You may say, “ I don’t harm any body. Occasionally I tell lie or occasionally I am moody or have some weakness ( we may call it as weakness in a polished manner)”. Yet it is sin and yet it is a deviation from God’s standard.
Jesus Christ is the Perfect Standard of Righteousness. His life on earth was in complete obedience to God’s standard. He never sinned. In Him was no sin. He knew no sin. Sin was totally absent in His life. God set Him to show mankind His uprightness- His standard. Because man was conceived in sin ( Psalm 51:5), man’s actions proceeded from his nature of sin.
The only remedy to deliver man from this vicious predicament is to give mankind a new nature– the very nature of God, exactly like that of Jesus!
God made this possible when Jesus was punished for our sins ( whether small deviation or huge). He died our death to put away the old nature of sin. He rose again by the Holy Spirit to impart the new nature– the very nature of God , the Righteous nature of God. This Righteousness is the Gift of God. This is the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
Every one who truly believes in this gospel is the very nature of God. Therefore, we confess, “ I am the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus”.
My beloved! You are His standard of righteousness. It will continually take your incessant confession that you are after His Righteousness to see permanent results.
Amen 🙏
Praise Jesus our RIGHTEOUSNESS !!
