Rhapsody Of Realities August 8 2023 written by Pastor Chris Oyakhilome and Today’s Message is Christ-Our Right-Standing Before The Father
Our opening scripture comes from the book of 1 Corinthians 1:30 and it says: But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who
of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption
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 areyou guilty or inferior in His presence. Rather, before Him,you’re holy, unblameable and unreproveable (Colossians1:22). Glory to His Name forever!
PRAYER
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 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 hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Romans 4:5-8
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
