Righteousness

It is through Christ we receive righteousness. Perfection is not in us but in God who dwells in us. Be strengthened. Be at peace.

Many of us fear God rather than reverence Him. We may see Him as this big, bad judge waiting for us to stumble. God is for us and not against us so much so He sent Jesus to die for our sins. Now that's an amazing love. Righteousness is not found in the things we do but in believing and accepting Christ into our hearts. Many new Christians get so stuck in religion that they neglect the fact that the love of God saves us. With the love of God, we are able to change old habits, stay on course, and seek and find His perfect will for our lives. Righteous people go to church but going to church does not make people righteous. We have to truly get God on the inside and accept the simple things about Him and ourselves. He loves us and that love saves us time and time again.

"For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men. Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification." Romans 14:17-19

Be Inspired...to accept the love of God. His love endures forever regardless of the circumstance. Never let anyone tell you any different...this includes you. We have to accept His unwavering love for us in order to live out His perfect plan.
