You are Righteous

Philippians 3:9"...not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith." I don't care how badly you may have messed things up yesterday or how many mistakes you have made, I want you to begin this day knowing you are righteous! Not because of anything you've done but because you've received, by faith in Jesus, the very righteousness of God. Just look at the kinds of benefits the Word of God says that righteousness will bring: "The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree" (Ps. 92:12). "When it goeth well with the righteous, the city rejoiceth" (Prov. 11:10). "The seed of the righteous shall be delivered" (Prov. 11:21). "For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers" (1 Pet. 3:12). "For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield" (Ps. 5:12). "The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles" (Ps. 34:17). "I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread" (Ps. 37:25). "The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein forever" (Ps. 37:29). "The Lord loveth the righteous" (Ps. 146:8). Don't let the devil rob you of even one of these blessings by telling you you're unworthy of them.

Run him off. Shout out loud, "I am the righteousness of God!" Then step out in faith and enjoy

the privileges God has prepared for you!

Rom 3:21 But now a righteousness of God has been revealed apart from Law, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets; 22 even the righteousness of God through the faith of Jesus Christ, toward all and upon all those who believe. For there is no difference, 23 for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, 24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus; 25 whom God has set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His blood, to declare His righteousness through the passing by of the sins that had taken place before, in the forbearance of God; 26 for the display of His righteousness at this time, for Him to be just and, forgiving the one being of the faith of Jesus. 27 Then where is the boasting? It is excluded. Through what law? Of works? No, but through the law of faith. :28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the works of the Law.
