THE RIGHTNESS OF GOD IN YOU
And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness (Ephesians 4:24).

Righteousness is the rightness of God at work in you. It is divinity manifested in you. It is the unveiling of the Father’s heart, His life and love at work in you. Living right is the outworking of the righteousness of God in you. He is righteousness, and He is your righteousness. He gave you the righteousness of Jesus Christ: “...of Him are ye in Christ Jesus who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification and redemption” (1 Corinthians 1:30).

This is what gives you right standing with Him. Being born again, you’re in the presence of the Father without guilt, condemnation, or inferiority. We’re bold and confident before Him. We live in harmony with the Father, walking in the light of His Word. We know Him, and He knows us; we’ve become one with Him: “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1). “But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit” (1 Corinthians 6:17).

Righteousness is your life now; it’s your nature. You’ve received abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness: “For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:17). Now you can walk in Him, justified and at peace with God.

Prayer / Confession
Dear Father, thank you for giving me your own righteousness: the ability to live right, think right, and live in your perfect will. I walk in the consciousness of my oneness with you, without guilt or condemnation. Your life and love are at work in me, producing fruits of righteousness. I reign in life through Jesus Christ. Amen.
