As I had mentioned earlier in part 1, the Word of righteousness gives us the confidence to call God, ‘Abba Father’. Jesus became sin for us so that we would become righteous. The Holy Spirit always makes us righteousness – minded while satan tries to make us feel guilty. Satan always accuses us but Holy Spirit always corrects us and brings us to repentance. He always assures us that we will never be a failure and makes us stand before God with confidence. So, a righteous-minded person will always have the confidence to stand before God and the courage to rebuke the devil. Ephesians 6:14 says that righteousness is a breastplate for us who believe in Jesus Christ.Yes! A righteousness man is like a lion…bold in all circumstances.

Romans 1:16,17 says, ” For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”

In the above verse, it says, ‘salvation for everyone who believes’. All the believers believe in Jesus Christ. So, what is Paul referring to here? He is referring to a strong faith that Jesus died for us and that there is forgiveness of sins in His name. Also, to a faith that because of what Jesus did for us, we don’t have to do anything now in order to please God. We have been delivered from all the dead works and we don’t have to offer anything to God because heaven has made the ultimate sacrifice and that is Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God! When you believe that that sacrifice was made for you,you are made righteous before God. Bless you!
