Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven (Matthew 5:16 AMPC).
Philippians 1:11 talks about the fruits of righteousness: “Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.” When the righteousness of God was imparted to your spirit, it came with the capacity to produce fruits consistent with God’s nature in you. These fruits are visible expressions of your new life: acts of love, purity, excellence, peace, and truth.
The Holy Spirit in you causes you to walk in righteousness naturally. You don’t struggle to do right; your spirit delights in the Word and produces fruits that glorify God. Just as an orange tree naturally produces orange fruits, the new creation in Christ produces works and fruits of righteousness as expected, because of the life within.
The world may admire and applaud men for good deeds, but true righteousness comes only from the life of God in a man. Now that you’re born again, manifest Christ, His glory and His righteousness. Your conduct, speech, and attitude should always reflect His divine character and attributes because you’re born of Him.
Everywhere you go, bring in justice, integrity and goodness. Let your life be replete with the fruits of righteousness. Our opening scripture says, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16).
God wants the world to experience the outward manifestations of the righteousness of God in you. He wants His glory demonstrated through you. He has made you a living testimony of His righteousness. So, let your life radiate His goodness, excellence and love. Let your words bring salvation, healing, prosperity, love, joy and peace to those in your world. Impact them with the righteousness of God in you.
CONFESSION
I’m filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory of God. My life radiates goodness, excellence and love. I produce fruits that glorify my Father and reveal His divine nature in me. Hallelujah!
