RIGHTEOUSNESS CONSCIOUSNESS
Author: Prophet Cosmas Inyang
Beautiful Verse:
God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.
2 Corinthians 5:21 (NIV)
Establishing righteousness has always been the focus of God before Christ came and after the fall of Adam.
The major reason why Adam was sent out of the garden of Eden was due to his fall from righteousness.
Through Adam’s fall from righteousness, he lost all and started living a life of toiling and sufferings.
For Israel to access their blessings which was basically fruits of righteousness they had to offer special TEMPORARY offerings unto God to keep them in that righteous state.
The Lord Jesus came as a permanent offering to give us a PERMANENT nature and state of righteousness.
The righteousness that we have received is not by works but a free gift from God to us who are His children.
The righteousness that you now have is the very righteousness of God Himself.
This means that you are as righteous as God Himself.
Don’t try to analyze this, choose to believe The Word of God in 2Corinthians 5:17
This is the point I want you to get:
Adam and Eve enjoyed all in the garden of Eden because of their righteous state.
Now that you have been made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus this means that you are to automatically begin to enjoy all the goodness of God as a child of God.
To begin to enjoy this you have to become dominantly conscious of the truth that you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
This means that you are NOT to be sin conscious ever again.
Never see yourself as a sinner.
He that is born again does not sin. (1 John 3:9)
Just as child makes mistakes, that is how you can make mistakes as a child of God.
All you have to do is to grow up.
As a child of God, every time you are SIN CONSCIOUS, you are REJECTING the permanent offerings and sacrifice of Christ for you on the cross to give you a PERMANENT nature and state of righteousness.
And every time you think or focus on your works as that which should qualify you as being righteous, you are saying that what Christ did on the cross was not enough and you are rejecting it.
Again, don’t try to analyze this, just accept and believe The Word.
Rather, focus now on what you should be enjoying as the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus that you are.
Say this out loud many many times repeatedly all through today:
I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus,
I am righteous.
