FAITH RIGHTEOUSNESS IN YOU

FAITH RIGHTEOUSNESS

Romans 4:13

New American Standard Bible
For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would be heir of the world was not through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith.

American King James Version
For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

What is righteousness? Righteousness is your good standing with God Almighty. You are right with God because of Jesus righteousness in you. The grace of Jesus made us righteous. God’s grace gives us power, strength to overcome sin dominion.

Roman 5:21 says “sin reigned unto death even so might grace reign through righteousness by Jesus Christ.” Roman 5:17 I have received the “abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness to reign in life by Jesus Christ.” Roman 10: 9,10 - “by faith we believe unto righteousness and confession is made unto salvation and blessings. I would explain like this: faith is the tap head we turn on, righteousness is like the pipe and grace is the water we drink. And to drink the water of grace we need to turn on the tap of faith and grace water will flows through righteousness the pipe.

With Faith Righteousness then grace flows, blessings flows, healing flows, finance flows. Grace flows through faith righteousness. Righteousness is not a theology question anymore. Faith righteousness will protect us from sickness, plagues and enemy opposition. It is a weapon also.

Isaiah 54:16, 17
Vs. 14 says, you fight against- “oppression, terror, even diseases, plagues, poverty”
Vs. 15 say, “strife” in churches today.
Vs. 17 says, “no weapon form against you – as righteousness is a weapon. You shall condemn, its your heritage (your right). God says, “Their righteousness is from Me.” We are made to use of this right or authority. We must know we are made righteous. I am the righteousness of God by faith.

What happen next? It says in Isaiah 55:11 one chapter later , “Your word will NOT be returned empty; it has a purpose to prosper us. Praise the Lord.
“Awake to righteousness” and put on the “breastplate of righteousness”. Take the whole armor to withstand the evil day. Christ Righteousness is a weapon and it surpasses all things.

Christ Is Transcendent
This means He “rises above, to surpass.” Jesus is higher than any other. He is the Heir of all things. Through Him we have been given all things…. We have been given to name a few:

1. Surpassing power (Ephesians 1:19)
2. Surpassing knowledge (Ephesians3:19; Phil. 3:8)
3. Surpassing understanding
4. Surpassing authority (Roman 13:1)
5. Surpassing grace (2 Corinthians. 9:14; Ephesians 2:7)
6. Surpassing glory (2 Corinthians 3:10)
