Grace For You Today!
Encounter Jesus The King Of Glory and Experience The Reigning of the Holy Spirit On Earth!
“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.)” Romans 5:17 NKJV
We need clarity to understand the English word “Gift” , for the above verse to have its fullest impact on us.
1. The New Testament that was originally written in Greek used two different words for the English word “Gift” namely- a) Charisma and b) Dorea. Charisma means endowment or empowerment, whereas Dorea means Person of a nature. In the above verse, the word “Gift” is “Dorea” meaning a Person.
2. In our normal usage of the word “gift” , we almost always think of “gift” as a thing and hardly ever use it for a person.
Now, every time the word “gift” as “Dorea” is used in the New Testament, it always refers to the Person of the Holy Spirit ( John 4:10; Acts 2:38; Acts 8:18-20; Romans 5:15-19; 2 Corinthians 9:15; Ephesians 3:7, 4:7; Hebrews 6:4) Hallelujah! That’s a revelation in itself!!
Now, Romans 5:17 ( today’s word), can be paraphased with this understanding saying, “ … those who receive abundance of grace and of the Person of the Holy Spirit of Righteousness shall reign in life through Jesus Christ”. This is awesome!
With this enlightenment , when we say, “ I am the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus” , we imply that “I am the embodiment of the Person of the Holy Spirit of Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus”. This is truly mind blowing and too awesome yet this is the TRUTH!!! ( please pause & allow the truth to sink deep into your hear to take effect)
My beloved of the Lord Jesus, when you understand this and confess that you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus you will experience the reigning glory of the Holy Spirit working in and through you on this earth in Jesus name ! Amen 🙏
Praise Jesus our RIGHTEOUSNESS !!
