Resurrection: The Proof of Righteousness

<!-- wp:paragraph -->

<p>There was only one possible way for God to give away his righteousness and still be true to both his justice and his mercy—to offer up his own Son.</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->

<p>God can only declare you righteous if He finds a way to do away with your sin - and thank God He did when Jesus was faithful in being offered up as a sin sacrifice for the world.</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->

<p>So now, because we stand on the faithfulness of Jesus and because we are united together with God’s Son, Jesus Christ, God declares us righteous in His eyes!</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->

<p>It is not right for us to claim that God has declared us righteous in Christ but at the same time claim that He has declared us a sinner. That is a massive contradiction. Why? Because righteousness is a gift from God to everyone who believes in Jesus as Lord and Saviour.</p>

<p>That gift was not something you had to work for to gain it hence you don’t have to “work” to maintain it. Rom 3:28 concludes: “..God’s wonderful declaration that we are righteous in his eyes can only come when we put our faith in Christ, and not in keeping the law.”<br>‭‭<br>The law demands “work” in order to be right with God but faith demands no such thing. Faith demands trust.</p>

<p>Missed Wednesday Bible study? Please go over here to watch it. We used Romans 4:25 as the main text:<br>“Jesus was handed over to be crucified for the forgiveness of our sins and was raised back to life to prove that he had made us right with God!”<br>‭‭Romans‬ ‭4:25‬ ‭TPT</p>
