Are You Righteous?

@ 08:45 AM (18 months, 13 days ago)

Blessings crown the head of the righteous, but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked. - Proverbs 10:6 (NIV).


We are righteous because of Jesus' shed blood.  We are right with God not because of us but because of Jesus.  

According to this Scripture, blessings crown the head of the righteous.  

Why don't we see more blessings in our lives if this is so?  Because we doubt that we truly are the righteous.  

We know in our heads, but we still condemn ourselves.  We go over a laundry list of reasons why we cannot be righteous when righteousness has nothing to do with us but with Jesus.  

I invite you to go around, as I will be doing, and confess "I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus" (II Corinthians 5:21) every spare moment you have until you know that you know that you know you are righteous through Jesus' shed blood.

Have you received Jesus as your Lord and Saviour?  Do you believe Jesus died to pay the price for your sin?  That He was raised from the dead?  Then just pray aloud, "Lord Jesus, I repent of all my sins.  Come into my heart and be my Lord and Saviour."  If you believed in your heart and confessed with your mouth, you are Born-again.  Let us know if you prayed this prayer.
