RIGHTEOUSNESS AND FAITH

Romans 4:20 “He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God.”

We are still meditating on strong faith. What are the things that enable strong faith? I believe that being righteousness conscious on the inside will strengthen your faith. Sin consciousness does not strengthen faith. When you are sin conscious you will not have confidence to approach God. 
The scripture says “if our heart condemn us not, then we have confidence toward God” (1John 3:21).  If you are sin conscious, what lives in your heart is not faith but fear. You are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. This means through Christ Jesus, you are right with God right now.  When you see yourself righteous before God, your faith in Him and towards Him will be strong. 
Your righteousness has nothing to do with what you have done or not done but what Christ has done on your behalf. Look at this:

“For therein the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith...”

When righteousness is revealed, it takes you from one level of faith to another.

Confession/Prayer: 
I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
