Are you the righteousness of GOD in CHRIST JESUS or are going about trying to establish your own form of righteousness without GOD?~ (GENESIS 12:1-4) Now the LORD had said unto Abraham, Get yourself out of your country, and from your kinfolks, and from your fathers house, unto a land that I will show you: And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless you, and curse him that curses you: and in you shall all families of the earth be blessed. So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran. (GENESIS 15:6) And Abraham believed in the LORD; and the LORD counted it to Abraham for righteousness. (GALATIANS 3:5-7) He therefore that ministers to you the Spirit, and works miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Do you not know that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. Brothers and sisters, the righteousness of GOD has nothing to do with you trying to make yourself righteous, because if you make yourself righteous, then your nothing more than a self-righteous person!~ The righteousness of GOD is given to the believing man or woman of GOD by faith, and its only by faith in CHRIST JESUS, that you are seen as righteous in the eyes of GOD!~ Brothers and sisters, being a Christian or a Jew does not make you righteous with GOD! Going to church every Sunday, Saturday, and Wednesday, does not make you the righteousness of GOD! Brothers and sisters, just because you dont do things you use to do does not make you the righteousness of GOD! And being saved all your life does not make you the righteousness of GOD either, because GOD will pass over 100,000 self-righteous Christians just to get to one sinner who has real faith in JESUS, and believes every word that proceeds out of JESUS mouth by faith! For JESUS came to save sinners, not the self-righteous folks! (Matthew 9:10-13) And it came to pass, as JESUS sat at meat in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and sat down with JESUS and his disciples. And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why does your Master eat with tax collectors and sinners? But when JESUS heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole do not need a physician, but they that are sick. But go you and learn what that means, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Brothers and sisters, you cannot clean yourself up, you cannot get yourself together, you cannot fix yourself, you cannot make yourself perfect, and you certainly cant make yourself righteous, because everything in the kingdom of GOD operates by faith, even the righteousness of GOD is given by faith in CHRIST JESUS, not by works! (GALATIANS 3:1-4) O foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes JESUS CHRIST has been evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only would I learn of you, did you received the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now made perfect by the flesh? Have you suffered so many things in vain? If it be yet in vain. (ISAIAH 64:6) But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. (EPHESIANS 2:8-9) For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of GOD: Not of works, lest any man should boast. (ROMANS 10:2-12) For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of GODS righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of GOD. For CHRIST JESUS is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believes. For Moses describes the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which does those things shall live by them. But the righteousness which is of faith speaks on this wise, Say not in your heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring CHRIST JESUS down from above:) Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up CHRIST JESUS again from the dead.) But what says the word of GOD? The word is near you, even in your mouth, and in your heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shall confess with your mouth the LORD JESUS, and shall believe in your heart that GOD has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture says, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. Brothers and sisters, faith is what makes you righteous in GODS sight, faith is what draws GODS attention to you, faith is what GOD respects, faith is what GOD honors, faith is what makes GOD move on your behalf, and faith is what makes you the righteousness of GOD in CHRIST JESUS, but your faith must be in JESUS CHRIST who is the living word of GOD, & you must know JESUS as the living the word of GOD to have true faith GOD!~ For faith without knowledge is nothing more than dead faith, the same way faith without works is dead, for what sense does it make for you to have faith in something or someone you don’t know or don’t have knowledge of? Only a fool would believe or have faith in something or someone he does not know!~ (HEBREWS 11:6) But without faith it is impossible to please GOD: for he that comes to GOD must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (John 3:9-12) Nicodemus answered and said unto JESUS, How can these things be? JESUS answered and said unto him, Are you a master of Israel, and you do not know these things? Verily, verily, I say unto you, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and you do not receive our witness. If I have told you earthly things, and you do not believe me, then how shall you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? (John 4:22-24) You worship what you do not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. ~~ If you enjoy reading the messages consider signing up for weekly or monthly emails with a link of current messages.
