How, as a born again Saint of God, do you go about seeking the wrong righteousness.??

Did you know that you can waste your entire Christian Life doing this?
Most do.

So, what is righteousness, according to God's viewpoint?
Well, according to God, YOUR righteousness is filth and unacceptable.
This means that all your good deeds have no righteousness, and can create no righteousness.... and also the Law and Commandments can't give you any righteousness.

Let me show you how a Christian practices the wrong righteousness.

Ok, here is a verse...
"be ye holy as i am holy".

Here is another one. ..'Present your body a living sacrifice"..

Now, what the confused believer does, to do all that wrong....IS .. to practice those as self effort to then offer all that SELF effort for God to accept.
He wont.
Not ever.
See, God will never accept your deeds to take you and He will never accept your deeds to keep you.

Now....Think of this...
You can be a person who copies Christ's deeds, and tries to emulate Christ's life.
In other words, you try to be Good, just like Jesus is Good.....all your life.
Then you eventually die and you meet Revelation 20:11 and God tells you......"Depart from me, i never knew you".
And You will depart into the Lake of Fire that was prepared for the Devil and his group even tho you lived as much like Christ as you could.....you worked at this, you sacrificed all your life long to try to be just like Jesus.... and now you are in the Lake of Fire 100,000yrs, wondering why..
And why?
Because the Devil is your Father.......that's why.
And why is that?
Because you were never born again.......which means that God never became your Father.
So then, you die, and end up with your Father.
---------------------------------------------------

Now, lets look at this...
A believer reads......."be ye holy, as I AM Holy".
Now see that "i Am".......that is God telling you to be the same Holy as HE is holy.
So, how do you do that?
You do that by UNDERSTANDING, (right believing) that you can't present yourself as Holy, in body, or deed, or function, or lifestyle, = that will ever EQUAL "as I AM Holy".
That means you, Saint.

Now do you see that?
If you don't, then you are trying to present yourself to God as if you have holiness that is YOURS, that is based on you trying to be good.
Most believers are doing this all their Christianity, and its a total FAIL...Total.

Listen, you can't of your own self, by yourself, be as Holy as God.
And once you see this, you will then be able to come into the correct understanding of how NOT to try to seek your OWN righteousness, as your Christian Discipleship, that you are trying to give to God.
As that is a 100% FAIL.
God will not accept it, and classifies you as "fallen from Grace".

See, Saint, its all about how you understand spiritual things, that is way way more important then how you try to behave..
See, its by the understanding, .. its by existing in the right MIND that you are able to present your body, and your life, and yourself, according to how God says to BE "righteous".

So, how do you do that right ????

1.) You do that by submitting to the Grace of God as your ONLY Righteousness, vs trying to present your works as your own holiness.

2.) You do that by submitting to the Grace of God as your ONLY Righteousness, vs trying to present your works as your own holiness.

3.) You do that by submitting to the Grace of God as your ONLY Righteousness, vs trying to present your works as your own holiness

Listen......Cain and Abel were brothers..
God received Abel and utterly and completely= denied and rejected Cain.
Why?
Because , as Jude explains...Cain committed the "error" of trying to self justify before God, and was expelled.... =That is the "error of Cain", and that is the theology of the LEGALIST, or the self saver, = the Self Righteous Believer who has fallen from Grace, = who is trying by SELF EFFORT to keep themselves saved.

Whereas ABEL, brought the BLOOD of another, and God said...."ENTER, REST, ACCEPTED, Good.".

So do you see the cost of the error of trying to be good to be accepted by God?
As that is the wrong righteousness that most Christians are struggling within...pursuing..... that is spiritual darkness..
How do you know if you are one of those?
You will believe and teach that you can lose your salvation and you will be hung up on water baptism, and commandment keeping, and anything else that is a SELF DO...
See that?

See, the reason many of you think you can lose your salvaiton, is because you only have faith in yourself to keep it., and you keep sinning and confessing and repenting, which makes you believe that you can't trust yourself.
That is your broken faith.
You have faith in YOU...and you failed many times......and that is not Faith in Christ. Or, you have faith in faith which is still not real faith in Christ, as holding unto your faith to try to keep from going to hell, is the same broken, fallen from Grace, situation.
See, if you had faith in Christ, you would never believe that you can lose, what ONLY GOD THROUGH CHRIST, OFFERS FOR FREE, = "the GIFT of Salvation"".

So, when God says...>"be HOLY as I AM Holy".....then to do that, is only one way, and that is to exist in the very Righteousness of GOD HIMSELF that is "the gift of Righteousness", that is the only way.

Listen, some of you dont actually realize or understand why God came here.....the real purpose.
And what is that?
Is it so you can sin and confess your life away, and argue endlessly about how to lose salvation and keep commandments and do works??
Oh really?

No, thats not it.
Lets try again.

Its like this......God is Righteous......He is HOLY>....and you are not righteous : of yourself.
So, you can't go to heaven being unrighteous and being unholy. And you can't of yourself solve that..
So, God came down here....Jesus left Heaven....= to solve your unrighteousness problem for you on the Cross, by giving you His Righteousness, that cost Him His Blood and His life.
And so.... if you are born again, then you have it, and that is why you go to heaven, or why you wont.
Believe it.
See, Salvation is only about BEING MADE RIGHTEOUS by God, through Christ.
And walking in THAT Light, is to understand that perfectly...and that is REAL FAITH, and that is the "renewed MIND".

Being Righteous, is God making you righteous, and REAL FAITH is existing in this TRUTH, as your understanding of who you are, "in Christ".
The wrong righteousness, is to try to exist as "presenting your body a living sacrifice" = as YOUR SELF EFFORT to be and stay accepted by God.
So....Thats the WRONG Righteousness, that is SELF Righteousness, and most believers are living in that place of spiritual darkness that is them trying to PERFORM to ither be saved or stay saved.
And when you do that, you are fallen from Grace. Which means, you have lost the Light of the revelation of being MADE Righteous, and you are now trying to maintain your own Salvation by SELF EFFORT, and that will never work, and that is why you are FALLEN.........FROM.........Grace. ... "In THE Flesh".
How do you know if that is YOU?
You will believe that you can lose your salvation.
To believe that means you DO NOT TRUST IN CHRIST TO KEEP YOU SAVED.
YOU TRUST IN YOU< AND THAT IS : SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

Saint, do not live in that SELF RIGHTEOUS place in your belief, in your MIND..., as that is spiritual darkness that is "the error of Cain". Which is to "fall from Grace", and exist "in the Flesh".

Do you have the wrong "Righteousness"?

God has His, .... and you must have HIS Righteousness if you want to go to GOD after you die. = "The GIFT of Righteousness".

SEE that?
Do you have that?


And What is God's righteousness.???

Here is what it ISN'T..


1.) Trusting in Faith
2.) Water Baptism
3.) Mary
4.) Enduring and trying to Abide
5.) Self Effort, works, good deeds....(see #4)
6.) Commandment keeping
7.) Joining a Church
8.) Keeping the Law
9.) Confessing your sin
10.) Trying to be like Jesus


See all those?

Now, did any of those in that LIST die on the Cross for all your sin?
If they did, then keep trusting in that LIST of SELF EFFORT.

But if they didn't, then give all your TRUST to GOD that JESUS who saved you, will keep you saved.
BELIEVE IT !
And if you have not done this yet...then...>"now is the day of Salvation". 'all that call on the name of Jesus, shall be saved".
Jesus said..>"ALL that believe in me, i give unto them Eternal Life, and they shall NEVER Perish".

When you read Isaiah 64:6 about how all our righteousness is as filthy rags, you have to read the verse before it (Isaiah 64:5) that says God meets the person who rejoices and works righteousness. So you are tearing a verse out of context in the Bible to defend a false belief. Isaiah 64:6 is obviously referring to not doing God’s work or instructions for us but it is referring to doing something that God did not tell us to do.

Jesus agreed with the lawyer that to love God and to love your neighbor is a part of inheriting eternal life (See: Luke 10:25-28).
Paul says that keeping the Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus (an NT Law) makes us free from the Law of sin and death (i.e. the Old Law or the 613 Laws of Moses) in Romans 8:2. Meaning, we are not under the Old Laws as a whole or package deal (the 613). Romans 8:1 is the definition of this New Covenant Law in Romans 8:2. There is no Condemnation to those in Christ Jesus who walk not after the flesh (sin) but who walk after the Spirit. For Galatians 5:16 says if you walk after the Spirit, you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh.

Revelation 22:14-15 ends with saying,

“Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.”

Closing one's mind and heart to God is so dreadful for sure. satan has promoted not speaking about God, and politics which of course is fine, those of the Kingdom don't care about politics anyway.

When you read Isaiah 64:6 about how all our righteousness is as filthy rags, you have to read the verse before it (Isaiah 64:5) that says God meets the person who rejoices and works righteousness.
For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.”

Never try to cast doubt on the Grace of God by trying to misuse a Old Testament verse.

Listen..
Paul said of you that you are a sinner. "fallen". "all have sinned".
Thats you.
So, because you are a sinner, you have no righteousness, as a sinner of themselves, is a sinner.
"no righteousness found".

God, came to this earth to provide all who believe, with HIS Righteousness.
This is to be born again. = "Made Righteous".
Humans have to be made righteous by God, and all who have been born again, have become "the righteousness of God, in Christ".
Jesus died on The Cross so that by this sacrifice God can proved a BELIEVER with "Christ's Righteousness". = "made Righteous".

That is not something you can do, or earn, Bible Highligher... as that is "the GIFT of Righteousness".
