You are MADE Righteous

[Behold]

-
Lets talk about the Righteousness of God.

1.) Discipleship follows Salvation.

Discipleship: is not the keeping of your salvation, but rather its : the LIVING OUT the Salvation that was already finished by Jesus on the Cross....and given to you as "the GIFT of Salvation".

Salvation is something that Jesus gained without our help on the CROSS, that is freely given by God : as "the Gift of Righteousness".

Think about this.....In a horse race, the horses start at the gate then they run to the finish line. Whereas, In Salvation = we start FINISHED, we are RIGHTEOUS to begin with, then we live out our "righteousness in Christ", as our discipleship. = we run around the track of LIFE>

See that? You need to see it.

Salvation is not earned or kept by us, its IMPUTED....it CHARGED....Its spiritually implanted....Its a GIFT....It becomes you and you exist eternally as "redeemed"..
Its you and God and Christ as "ONE".

Because you are "MADE Righteous," you exist now and forever as "The Righteousness of God, IN Christ". That is God's never ending love for you keeping you always IN Christ.
Saint, God starts your salvation with the blood of Jesus and keeps it eternal with the blood of Jesus.

This is who you are, if you are born again... = You are MADE Righteous.

So, if you are "made righteous" by the Blood of Jesus.....and this is the "Gift of Righteousness" that became you that is your Spiritual Identity...then how Righteous are you at all times?
You are exactly as Righteous as God's Righteousness. So. how righteous is God's Righteousness? Its exactly as Righteous as God Himself IS, and is exactly the same understanding as "the sinlessness of Christ".

Holiness and Righteousness are 2 sides of the same Coin.
When we say..."God is Holy", we are meaning "God is Righteous".
When we say...>"we are made righteous, then we are meaning that we are made Holy".

How Righteous is God's Holiness? Well, God's Holiness would make the sun seem like an ice cube with regards to HEAT. That is how HOLY the Righteousness of God is, at all times.
The reason you get to go to heaven, is because you are born again,= AS "The righteousness of God, in Christ"....In other words. For you to exist where God exists, He had to MAKE YOU , through the Blood of Jesus, of EQUAL RIGHTEOUSNESS To Himself. And so, He gave you.. His very own Righteousness as a GIFT...."The Gift of Righteousness"..

Are you saved? Are you born again? Then if you are, you are co-righteous with God and Christ, having been made so, by the Blood Atonement.

Now, here is the thing...... Do you SEE YOURSELF this way . ???????????????

If you don't then you do not understand your Salvation, and until you do understand it, then your mind will not be able to Walk in the Spirit, and you will only walk in the flesh, which means you will not live a perfected Christian Discipleship, that you should be daily living.
To escape the bondage of sinning and repenting, you have to come in mental agreement with God's perspective of you.
You MUST begin to see yourself as God sees you at all times, Saint

You are this..
"As Christ is, so are the Born again ... in this world".
You are "IN CHRIST".
There is no sin in Christ.
1500 days after you are born again, you are just as cleansed by the blood of Jesus, as you were 2 seconds after you were saved.
The Blood Atonement is a perpetual "saving Grace".
It never stops keeping you RIGHTEOUS. "the righteousness of God, in Christ".

The New Testament explains to you that ..."As CHRIST IS, so are all the BORN AGAIN ...IN THIS WORLD".... Not later..not in Heaven, not after you get the new body....but NOW you are "As Christ is, so are the Born again..In THIS World".
So, is Christ a Sinner?
Is CHRIST A SINNER? IS Jesus THE CHRIST A SINNER?. = "As Christ IS, so are the BORN AGAIN, IN THIS WORLD".

Are you born again? That that is YOU, at all times.
Believe it, as right believing will only produce right living.

Believer .= Is there any sin in RIGHTEOUSNESS? =There is NOT. !

And YOU ...are "The RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD, In Christ", if you are born again.

"As Christ is so are the BORN AGAIN = IN THIS WORLD".... and FOREVER..

Hallelujah !!!!


Saint, get your MIND right....
SEE YOURSELF as GOD SEES YOU>.. at ALL TIMES..
Right BELIEVING Produces RIGHT LIVING.
Wrong BELIEVING Produces WRONG LIVING.
= Get your MIND RIGHT and you will LIVE RIGHT.

Very clever. A lot here that is stated is indeed true. But the error is in the scale. Gnosticism uses spiritual truth and reality to cast the light AWAY from what is actually going on. There is a bait and switch going on. There is a counterfeit going on. Now a counterfeit would be no good at all unless it closely resembled the truth...at least in words.

We are the righteousness of God IN Christ. Very true. But what does it mean to be IN Christ? That becomes the issue..that becomes the litmus test of authenticity.

Someone who is IN Christ is dead in themselves...crucified. The power of the flesh has been rendered ineffective to that a new power has taken over from heaven...where NO sin can take hold.

A walk IN Christ is identical to the walk He walked on the earth. He who says he abides in Him ought to walk even as he walked.

As He IS so are we in this world...if we are walking in Zion...in the kingdom life.

A proof of having the righteousness of God is that a miraculous authority come out...like when Peter declared Ananias and Sapphira to be dead...and they dropped dead. THAT is the righteousness of God at work.

The righteousness of God is NOT allowing believers to sin and walk carnally. It's about a holy walk...a walk in the holiness of God.

And this is much more than being just born again. It involves a going to God to receive of His life...to be IN God. To receive grace ON grace. To be filled with the Spirit for our ongoing life IN the power (grace) of God. To be translated into the kingdom realm of the Spirit.

So there is a big difference between reckoning oneself as dead and living the best way we can...and BEING dead by the power of the cross of Christ.

So we are to carry the dying of Jesus so that His life is made manifest in these mortal bodies. THAT is a walk in the light...as He is in the light.

This is interesting. You then attribute Ananias' and Sapphira's deaths to Peter? That Peter's words had the power to cause them to die?

1Jo 1:8, If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

Gal 3:22, But the scripture hath concluded all (including the born again) under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

Gal 6:13, For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.

Rom 3:23, For all have sinned, and come short (present tense) of the glory of God;

 

[justbyfaith]

In Romans 4:5 it is written that the Lord declares the ungodly person to be righteous.

This means that you have the identity of being righteous even when you blow it.

Now that you have this identity...go and live like it (1 John 3:7, Romans 5:19, Matthew 5:6).

There is another side to the coin...and that is that we all have indwelling sin (1 John 1:8).

This indwelling sin can be rendered dead (Romans 6:6, Galatians 5:24, Romans 7:8) so that we can walk in our new identity in the practical sense.

I am identified as a "righteous sinner" as a "sinner who doesn't sin"...but on another level I may in fact be identified as a "righteous sinner" as one who is declared righteous but who still sins. It depends on where I am in my walk. If I am living out my new identity in Christ, then I am one who does not sin in the practical elements. But if I am not living out my new identity, I may be still living according to my old identity...which is also who I am (Romans 7:18) but which is not my new identity in Christ.

I know that @Behold is going to try and take the credit for some of this doctrine...but those of you who have been around for a while know that I have preached it before.
