TO THE BIBLE:
Romans 5:17 KJV
“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.”

LET’S TALK
I love what Paul says in Philippians 3:8-9 about this glorious righteousness we have by faith in Jesus Christ. He says, “…that I may win Christ, and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith.” When you accepted Jesus as Lord, His righteousness was imparted to you. And guess what? Christ’s righteousness is perfect; it doesn’t need any improvement! Nothing you do today can make you more righteous or less righteous before God. When He looks at you, He sees the righteousness of Christ.

Jesus was sinless, the only one qualified to be our substitute, and He gave you His righteousness. God accepted His qualification on your behalf. So, you’re no longer relying on your own efforts; you live by the righteousness of Jesus Christ.

Romans 5:1 says, “Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Being “justified” means you’re cleared of all guilt by your faith in Jesus, as if you never sinned. Now you have peace with God through Jesus!

Unfortunately, some Christians still struggle to attain righteousness. But we couldn’t attain righteousness ourselves, so God gave us His. You’re just as righteous as Jesus is because He substituted His righteousness for your sin-nature when you confessed Him Lord of your life. Isn’t that amazing? Praise God!

GO DEEPER
2 Corinthians 5:21
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Romans 5:17-19
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.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

SPEAK
I’ve received abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness to reign in life by one, Jesus Christ! The ability to be right, to do right, and to produce fruits and works of righteousness is inherent in my spirit. I’m living by the righteousness of Jesus Christ. I can stand before God now and always, confidently serving Him in righteousness and true holiness. Hallelujah!
