Object of Redemption

Romans 5:17
“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.”


We are still continuing our meditation on the above scripture. Someone said righteousness is the object of redemption. I cannot agree more, why? It is because by making us righteous God brought man back to the place where we have access into his presence and could fellowship with Him like Adam
did in the garden of eden. 

You remember when sin came man began to hide from God, and that is what sin and sin consciousness is still making man to do today, hide from God. 

A man who is hiding from God does not know he has authority to act like God. When Adam had no sin, he did not think he had no capacity to name all the animals and birds when God asked him to. But today, sin makes people shy away from being what God  has made us to be. The first thing that comes to people is why they cannot. 

What I want you to know today that in being made righteous, God has given you full authority to be like Him. So from today develop a righteousness consciousness more and throw out of your life sin consciousness. Say it to yourself over and over again that YOU ARE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS, THAT RIGHT NOW, NO MATTER HOW YOU FEEL, YOU ARE RIGHTEOUS. 

The Scripture says in righteousness you shall be established, this is why the devil easily sweeps some believers off their feet. They are not strong in their revelation of righteousness, and so they are weak, their faith is weak. But the scripture also says somewhere else, “awake to righteousness…”  So I tell you awake to righteousness.
