JESUS THE PERFECT THEOLOGY SERIES 4.
***YOU HAVE AN EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS***
Daniel 9:24
“Seventy weeks are determined for your people and for your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sins, to make reconciliation for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness…
Let's build some foundation👇
The day you became born again was the day you received the gift of righteousness and therefore,
Gods righteousness isn't a Sunday-Sunday activity,nor a ceremonial/ritualistic event to be made holy.
In the old testament only the blood of bulls and goat could make men "feel" holy or righteous, not even for years but for just one year and after which they do another ritualistic sacrifice for same thing,though it was a shadow of the substance Christ.
Let's look at some Scriptures in context as regarding our earlier discussions above: Hebrews 9:6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.
Heb 9:7 But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:
The law of sin and death never saved anyone form sin,the sacrifices of once a year never made a different, even till today many still practice such ritualistic sacrifices in the name of offering unto God,and so the only blood that saved us from the law of sin and death was the precious blood of Jesus, the son of the living God,he is not one of the prophets, he is God in a man.
Hebrews 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
Hebrews 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
Note the words "it is not possible" and so today when you begin to work out your righteousness by calculating what to do and what not to do,when you sin and when you don't, this are all your self efforts, you're trying to deny what Jesus has done for you on the Christ.
The more you listen to sin conscious messages and teachings,the more you're being pointed to sin,the scripture say looking unto Jesus not sin conscious teachings, Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;.........And so the more you point people to their sin,how sinful they are,what they did and what not to do,the more you wanna perfect them by works.
Let's go more deeper👇
Let's look at some scriptures again,in Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved)
Note the tenses there,Even when we "we're" dead in sins,oh! What love God has for man,he came and saved you while even in sins, and so Being saved by Grace is Christ undeniable love for us and so in order for us to live in this newness of life we ought to be trained in righteousness, ie the more you listen to grace,righteousness conscious messages and teachings the more you live in the newness of your life,the more you understand who you are in Christ, the greatest revelation that should be in your spirit,mind should be Colossians 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
The scripture says in 1 Corinthians 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
Christ "is your" righteousness etc meaning if you are in him and he is you,righteousness lives in you, holiness lives in you, in fact it is now your property, righteousness, sanctification, redemption etc has become your property,because you are in him and he in you,righteousness is also a gift and so a gift belongs to you.
On Sunday, we hear a message that says, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ.” On Monday, we are still confessing, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ.” But come Wednesday or Thursday, we begin to confess our sins! Then, when Sunday comes, we get a fresh revelation of our righteousness in Christ and we start to confess our righteousness again. Why do we do that?
It cannot be that on Sunday, we are righteous. Then, a few days later, we become unrighteous because of sin, but are “re-righteoused” when Sunday comes again. No, our righteousness is an “everlasting righteousness”! Jesus has obtained “eternal redemption” for us. (Hebrews 9:12)
“But Pastor White, I have just sinned. How can I still be righteous?”
My friend, it is not what you do that makes you righteous. It is what Christ has done at Calvary. Romans 5:19 says, “For as by one man’s [Adam] disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.” It is the obedience of one Man—Christ—and not your obedience, that has made you righteous!
Finally for today👇
God wants you established in what Christ has done. He wants you conscious of your everlasting righteousness in Christ. How do you do that? As i said earlier keep listening/studying anointed messages that remind you of your righteousness in Christ. And don’t just know it in your head. Speak it. Every morning, tell yourself, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ!” (2 Corinthians 5:21)
You don’t need a revelation of how sinful you are. You know it when you sin. The devil reminds you of your sins. Even your friends and loved ones sometimes point out your sins. What you need, instead, is a revelation of how forever righteous you are in God’s eyes, especially when you sin.
Listening to sin conscious messages pollutes your mindset and needs to be deleted with the message of Christ.
And when you are conscious of this gift of righteousness that is everlasting, you will reign in life! (Romans 5:17) You will reign over sin, bad habits, sicknesses, lack and everything that holds you back from a victorious life!
Finally do not be conformed to this world of religion and their sin conscious mentality, but renew your mind always being conscious of who you are in(side) Christ.
This is the message!
