Righteousness: Divinity Manifested In Humanity
But now the righteousness of God without the law is
manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets
(Romans 3:21).
Righteousness has been rightly described as right
standing with God. But there’s another description;
it’s the rightness of God at work in the human person—divinity
manifested in humanity. Put more succinctly, righteousness is
God’s life and love at work in you.
It’s a fact of the Gospel that the Father has given us
His own righteousness; we can now stand in His presence
without guilt, condemnation or inferiority. He’s given us His
rightness, His ability to do right, so we can live in consonance
with Him. We don’t have to struggle to please Him; it’s our
life and nature now to live before Him in righteousness and
true holiness (Ephesians 4:24).
Romans 5:1 says, “Therefore being justified by faith,
we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:”
Now, we think, talk and act the same way. The Bible says,
”…they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of
righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ” (Romans
5:17). Our right standing with God gives us the ability to reign
as kings in this present world. We reign over demons, over
this world and its systems.
Besides, not only did God make us righteous, He did
something else which is so powerful and mind-blowing. 2
Corinthians 5:21 says, “For he hath made him to be sin for us,
who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness
of God in him.” Jesus took our place of sin and made us His righteousness. We’re thus the righteousness of God in Christ
Jesus. Amazing!
This means we’re now the unveiling of the Father’s
righteousness; the manifestation and outworking of His
righteousness. When you step into a matter, you’re not there
to decide who is wrong and who is right; rather, you bring
forth the judgments of God. You’re His righteousness
manifested, and the unveiling of His glory. Blessed be God!
CONFESSION
Praise God forevermore! I’m the
unveiling of the Father’s
righteousness, the manifestation
and outworking of His
righteousness. His wisdom and
sound judgment are heard and
seen in me; I’m the effulgence of
His glory. I reign and rule in life
through His righteousness in my
spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
