The righteousness of God in Christ

The people will declare, "The LORD is the source of all my righteousness and strength" And all who were angry with him will come to him and be ashamed (Isa 45:24 NLT)

When you find yourself failing, in the midst of reoccurring sin; can you say this and believe it?
"I Am The Righteousness of God in Christ!"

If we cannot confess our righteousness in Christ when we fail, it indicates we have doubts about being saved by grace through faith alone (EPH 2:8-9). The enemy has deceived us into walking by sight instead of faith. 

In opposition to what the Bible teaches, Satan has us sin-conscious instead of righteousness conscious, Jesus conscious. This grieves the Holy Spirit who convicts believers of their righteousness.

If we want to stop sinning, try God's way instead. All the time and especially the next time we fail, in the midst of let's our sin, make this our faith declaration: "I Am The Righteousness of God in Christ!"

The enemy will try and stop us, to walk by sight, looking at ourselves. Don't let him! We must keep our faith focused on the spotless lamb that took our place and exchanged our sinfulness for His righteousness. Confessing Christ's righteousness when the enemy and religion are trying to stop us, transforms us by faith into the image of Christ.

Our true confession lets God know we really believe it is all about the perfection of Jesus while slamming the door shut on Satan's attacks.  Who can condemn those who God has justified (made righteous)? It reminds us that God's love is not dependent on our actions.

It takes little or no faith to declare our righteousness in Christ when we are doing everything right.  On the other hand, it takes sound and sincere faith to declare it when we fail. God wants us to live from faith to faith in Jesus' finished work, even when we fail.
Our confession will transform our core belief as all the false beliefs and doubts fall away. We will reign over sin instead of sin reigning over us.

This is the way to the freedom Jesus died to give us my friend. Say it now in faith with conviction: "I Am The Righteousness of God in Christ!"
