HIS NATURE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

2 Corinthians 5:21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. (NIV)

We have become the righteouness of God in Christ Jesus. God made us so and declared that we are His righteousness. Some still struggle with this truth that the Christian is the righteouness of God. They look at all the wrongs they did and concluded (though contrary to what God says) that they are unrighteous. 

Righteousness has nothing to do with right and wrong, it is the nature of God. Contrary to sin which is the nature of the devil; it is natural for him to do wrong. That's his nature; that's him. 

God doesn't do right to be righteous; doing right is a natural expression of Himself. Righteousness is who He is. In Christ Jesus He has given us that nature of righteousness.

He says we are His righteousness in Christ Jesus; that is a sovereign declaration of who He made us in Christ. It's a vital information to us, we only need to accept it and walk in it.
Romans 10:1-4 Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. Since they did not know the righteousness of God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
Righteousness is by knowledge and believe.

PRAYER

Father I thank you for who you made me in Christ Jesus. I am walking as your righteousness, manifesting your glory in the earth, bringing praise to your Holy Name, in Jesus' name. Amen.
