TO THE BIBLE:
Isaiah 26:2 AMPC
“Open the gates, that the [uncompromisingly] righteous nation which keeps her faith and her troth [with God] may enter in.”
LET’S TALK
To understand what qualifies a nation to come into the gates of God, there are two key elements to observe: righteousness and walking in the truth. So, what nation is this? It’s the Church of Jesus Christ! You see, God’s Word is Truth, and His truth was given to us in Christ Jesus. Thus, the Church of Christ is this nation that keeps the truth. In 1 Timothy 3:15, Apostle Paul called the house of God—the Church of the living God—the pillar and ground of the truth.
We belong to the Church, which is the custodian of the truth. The Church is a righteous nation. We’re God-like in true righteousness and holiness (Ephesians 4:24). The Bible says, “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:21). Everyone who has accepted Jesus as Lord and Saviour has been made righteous!
In Ephesians 4:24 (AMPC), Paul highlights that we were created in true righteousness and holiness: “And put on the new nature (the regenerate self) created in God’s image, [Godlike] in true righteousness and holiness.” If you walk with sin-consciousness, you wouldn’t know that you’re righteous. But His gate is open to the righteous ones—the Church! What a blessing!
Peter supports this in his first letter when he called us a holy nation: “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light” (1 Peter 2:9 AMPC). We’re a peculiar nation, born in righteousness, producing fruits of righteousness, and proclaiming His truth in righteousness.
GO DEEPER
3 John 1:3–4
For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.
1 Timothy 3:15
But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
PRAY
Righteous Father, your peace and prosperity reign in the nations of the world, as we, your Church, proclaim your truth and righteousness around the world. We overturn the structures, systems, and schemes of satanic propagation of deception and fear across the nations, and we declare that your will be done in all the earth, as it is in heaven, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
