Jesus Saved Me Part VIII

Righteous before God

“In righteousness you shall be established; you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you…. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is from Me.” Isa 54:14-15, 17

For He made Him who knew no who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. Rom 5:21

For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. Rom 5:17


And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you. He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. Rom 8:10-11

Because of what Jesus Christ did for us, we are always in right standing before God. Any sin in our lives does not hinder our relationship to God but opens the door for evil to work in us. (Romans 6:6 & 6:16) The Holy Spirit will convict us of sin in our lives. (John 16:8-11)
