Righteousness Part III


Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference. For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. Romans 3:22-23

The Truth is that we are freely justified by our Father's Grace through Jesus our Lord. Freely, we just can’t hear that enough. Sure we all have fallen short of His glory, we can’t help it.

For God has consigned (penned up) all men to disobedience, only that He may have mercy on them all [alike]. Romans 11:32

We all have been made to mess up, which is why Jesus prayed in John 17 that we would have His glory, because ours isn’t enough, it never has been enough and it never will be. 

I have given to them the glory and honor which You have given Me, that they may be one [even] as We are one: John 17:22

We all need to move on past the principle of Christ that says we have forgiveness of sins, so many of us dwell there. We need to move on to perfection, walking in the victory and love of the righteousness that has been freely bestowed on us! Freely, without any works, we have been made righteous, virtuous, morally upright, free from the guilt and sin. We are now approved and accepted by God, and through Jesus we are now faultless. Jesus has saved us to the uttermost, Hebrews 7:25. We are now one with the One Who is sanctified and Who sanctifies, and He is not ashamed to call us His brethren, Hebrews 2:11. The power of our sanctification solely lies on our Lord and Savior Who He ever lives to intercede for us so that we are absolutely and completely saved to the uttermost. Jesus is greater in us than anything or anyone in this world!
