The King in His Beauty - Righteousness - Part 2
9because if you acknowledge and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord [recognizing His power, authority, and majesty as God], and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For with the heart a person believes [in Christ as Savior] resulting in his justification [that is, being made righteous--being freed of the guilt of sin and made acceptable to God]; and with the mouth he acknowledges and confesses [his faith openly], resulting in and confirming [his] salvation. (Romans 10:9-10)
2. Understand that righteousness comes by faith
and may be found in Him [believing and relying on Him], not having any righteousness of my own derived from [my obedience to] the Law and its rituals, but [possessing] that [genuine righteousness] which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith. (Philippians 3:9) He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. (Psalm 23:3)
At night my soul longs for You, Indeed, my spirit within me seeks You diligently; For when the earth experiences Your judgments, The inhabitants of the world learn righteousness. (Isaiah 26:9) We should also pray that the people of the world will learn righteousness. 6. Plant seeds in righteousness so as to reap beneficial things in righteousness Sow with a view to righteousness [that righteousness, like seed, may germinate]; Reap in accordance with mercy and lovingkindness. Break up your uncultivated ground, For it is time to seek and search diligently for the LORD [and to long for His blessing] Until He comes to rain righteousness and His gift of salvation on you. (Hosea 10:12) 7. Seek the Lord and the ways of the Lord (Hosea 10:12).
As Paul talked about righteousness, self-control and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid and said, “That’s enough for now! You may leave. When I find it convenient, I will send for you.” (Acts 24:25)
Christ himself carried our sins in his body to the cross, so that we might die to sin and live for righteousness. It is by his wounds that you have been healed. (1 Peter 2:24)
Little children (believers, dear ones), do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who practices righteousness [the one who strives to live a consistently honorable life—in private as well as in public—and to conform to God’s precepts] is righteous, just as He is righteous. (1 John 3:7) 7Let us rejoice and shout for joy! Let us give Him glory and honor, for the marriage of the Lamb has come [at last] and His bride (the redeemed) has prepared herself.” 8She has been permitted to dress in fine linen, dazzling white and clean--for the fine linen signifies the righteous acts of the saints [the ethical conduct, personal integrity, moral courage, and godly character of believers]. (Revelation 19:8) In conclusion: § Receive the expensive gift of righteousness which the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ have made available through the shedding of His blood for you and I. § Receive righteousness by faith and be delivered from shame, reproach, and nakedness. § Be armed with offensive and defensive weapons of righteousness. § Receive deliverance from wrath and death through the avenue of right standing and right living with God. § Receive increased anointing and promotion. § Ensure you do not miss your crown of righteousness. § Be born again, apply faith, let God lead you, learn righteousness, and plant good seeds of righteousness and good works. § Seek the Lord, walk with Him, live for Him, and be a blessing as Jesus is.
