Romans 10:1-3 (NKJV), Romans 3:21-22 (NIV)
Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God. *This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference.
What type of righteousness do you have? Is it that which stems from your works and efforts or that which results from faith in Christ? The truth is that by your own works and efforts, you will never feel righteous enough to be, to receive or to do all that God has in mind for you. But by your faith in Christ, God inputs His own very righteousness into you, just like that. This means that by your faith in Christ, you become as righteous as God Himself. God made Christ to become sin for you so that you can be made His righteousness, 2Cor.5:21. This righteousness is what gives you right standing with God and causes you to be able to manifest His kind of right living in order to be all that He wants you to be.
God made this possible through Christ because of how much He loves you and me. All we have to do is believe and receive it. We submit to God’s righteousness and blessing by believing in what He has done for us in Christ. Stop trying to be righteous or blessed in your own strength or ability. You don’t have to do anything to become what God has already made you in Christ. All you have to do is receive it by believing that God has done it for you in Christ. As a result, you will then have the ability to experience and manifest that which God wants you to experience and manifest. There is a big difference between doing something to be righteous or blessed and doing something because you are righteous and blessed as a result of your faith in Christ.
FAITH DECLARATION: I believe in all that God has done for me in Christ. I am blessed and I am righteous because of Christ. .
