RHAPSODY
OF REALITIES DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY TUESDAY 8TH AUGUST 2023.
I’ve
often said that the biggest subject in all of God’s Word is righteousness.
Righteousness is the nature of God that defines His character and ways of doing
things. It is the rightness of God; His attribute of always being right. This
nature and attribute of God when imparted to the human spirit at the new birth
gives him right-standing. Right-standing refers to the right or ability to
stand in the presence of God without guilt, fear, inferiority, or condemnation.
Now,
you can talk to the Lord in fellowship and even ask Him questions; you’re bold
in His presence. This is part of the result of who we are, and what we have in
Christ. We read in our opening scripture that Christ has become our
righteousness—our right-standing before God. Hallelujah! What a blessing! As
great and glorious and mighty as God is, you’re not afraid of Him, nor are you
guilty or inferior in His presence.
Rather,
before Him, you’re holy, unblameable and unreproveable (Colossians 1:22). Glory
to His Name forever!
CONFESSION
I
have received God’s overflowing grace and the gift of righteousness which has
put me into right standing with the Father. I reign as a king in life through
Christ. Glory to God!
FURTHER STUDY
Romans 3:23-28;
23 for all
have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all
are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that
came by Christ Jesus. 25 God
presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his
blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness,
because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— 26 he did
it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and
the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
27 Where,
then, is boasting? It is excluded. Because of what law? The law that
requires works? No, because of the law that requires faith. 28 For we
maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
Romans 4:5-8
5
However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly,
their faith is credited as righteousness.
6
David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom
God credits righteousness apart from works:
7
“Blessed are those whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord will never count against them.”
