The Gift of
Righteousness
ROMANS 5:17 NIV
17 For if, by the trespass of the one man,
death reigned
through that one man, how much more will those
who receive
God's abundant provision of grace and of the
gift of
righteousness reign in life through the one
man, Jesus Christ.
The New Testament reveals the good news that
God offers
righteousness as a free gift to everyone who
receives the Lord
Jesus Christ.
Righteousness means right-wise-ness, or being
right. So
righteousness is right standing, or good
standing with God.
Righteousness is a GIFT from God -- not
something you can earn
or achieve. God simply declares that you are
innocent, as far
as He is concerned, because you believe in
Jesus.
You are righteous if Jesus is your Lord. In
fact, Jesus is your
righteousness. So, you are really as righteous
as God is --
because He IS your righteousness. As a
believer in Jesus, you
will never be more righteous -- no matter what
you do.
1 CORINTHIANS 1:30 NIV
30 It is because of him that you are in Christ
Jesus, who has
become for us wisdom from God-- that is, our
righteousness,
holiness and redemption.
DO YOU ?
Do you ever feel
discouraged and dissatisfied? Do you ever have
feelings of unrest and fear of the future?
Does the thought of death and the hereafter
haunt you?
YOU ARE
Are you
looking for an unconditional love? Someone who
accepts you where you are and loves you no
matter what? Look no further than a personal
relationship with Jesus Christ.
Cast all your anxiety on him because he
cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7 NIV
Never let the enemy tell
you that you re worthless or insignificant.
You have value in the eyes of God so great
that it was worth dying for. You are a
blessing to the world.
Did you know God's
forgiveness and unconditional love is
available for anyone who asks?

decision to accept Christ as Lord
