| Confessing Your Righteousness Pleases God |
|
|
Every
time you confess, “I am the righteousness of God in Christ”, God the
Father is pleased. When you confess that you are the righteousness of
God in Christ, it reminds Him of what His Son has done for you to become
righteous.
Also, by making you
righteous, God is showing Himself righteous — “to demonstrate at the
present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier
of the one who has faith in Jesus”. (Romans 3:26)
Each
time Jesus hears you confess, “I am the righteousness of God in
Christ,” it brings much pleasure to His heart too, because you are
laying hold of what He suffered and died to give you.
The
Holy Spirit, who now indwells you to convict you of righteousness (John
16:10), also rejoices when you confess, “I am the righteousness of God
in Christ.” He is pleased when you flow with Him.
The
delight of the Godhead is not the only thing you gain when you declare,
“I am the righteousness of God in Christ.” The Bible tells us that when
you “seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness… all these things shall be added to you”. (Matthew 6:33)
Whether
it is food, clothing or other necessities in life, “all these things”
will be added to you. They will not just be given to you, but added to you as your inheritance when you seek first His righteousness.
You
don’t need to use your faith for every single need in life. You just
need to use your faith for one thing — to believe that you are the
righteousness of God in Christ, and it will cause all the blessings you
seek to come after you and overtake you!
