An expression of His righteousness……

[Not me]

1 Corinthians 3:3 (NKJV)
for you are still carnal. For where [there are] envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like [mere] men?

     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scripture puts forth a description of one still controlled by own will, for own will is that that causes divisions, envy, strife, etc… For own will is incapable of understanding righteousness for it has the understanding of a man, so therefore does it put forth its will as righteousness not submitting to the righteousness of God which comes by faith alone…

For the pursuing of righteousness which comes through faith is the peacemaker between believers for this is where the unity of the faith is found… Where believer’s become all of the same mind, when and where each and every believer asks God what is righteousness, what is love, what is being a peacemaker in the situation….For unifying around the righteousness that comes through faith alone is letting God be the decider, letting God be the bringer forth-er of the fruit of the choices made…. For as His people He makes righteousness known speedily to those that are open and humble before Him, those that aren’t looking to be right, but just wanting to know His will and then walk in it…

Which will is righteousness in and towards all regardless of how one is treated or responded to, this is that expression of righteousness that all can unify around, for no one is better or above another, but love, righteousness, and being a peacemaker, letting God bring forth the fruit of the Spirit as proof of His life in one…

For righteousness being expressed is God’s will being expressed and done in those that would be called by His name…

Be blessed in being an expression of His righteousness….

I know when I’m walking in the will of God  for my life, walking, being led by the  Holy Spirit.

 

I am also very well aware of my own will, and all the rubbish I want to expound from my mouth at times, so it’s a battle, walk in Christ righteousness...or walk in your own flesh...of course I choose to walk in the spirit...but as an imperfect human being, I get it wrong, so ,will continue to learn to walk in the spirit, to which the Holy Spirit is my guide/ helper,🙏

Greetings and blessings, as God sees your hearts hunger after Him, may He fill that desire with Himself in a new and awesome way…

Be blessed in your hunger…

Dictionaries define righteousness as “behavior that is morally justifiable or right.” Such behavior is characterized by accepted standards of morality, justice, virtue, or uprightness. The Bible’s standard of human righteousness is God’s own perfection in every attribute, every attitude, every behavior, and every word. Thus, God’s laws, as given in the Bible, both describe His own character and constitute the plumb line by which He measures human righteousness.

The Greek New Testament word for “righteousness” primarily describes conduct in relation to others, especially with regards to the rights of others in business, in legal matters, and beginning with relationship to God. It is contrasted with wickedness, the conduct of the one who, out of gross self-centeredness, neither reveres God nor respects man. The Bible describes the righteous person as just or right, holding to God and trusting in Him (Psalm 33:18–22).

The bad news is that true and perfect righteousness is not possible for man to attain on his own; the standard is simply too high. The good news is that true righteousness is possible for mankind, but only through the cleansing of sin by Jesus Christ and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. We have no ability to achieve righteousness in and of ourselves. But Christians possess the righteousness of Christ, because “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God” (2 Corinthians 5:21). This is an amazing truth. On the cross, Jesus exchanged our sin for His perfect righteousness so that we can one day stand before God and He will see not our sin, but the holy righteousness of the Lord Jesus.

This means that we are made righteous in the sight of God; that is, that we are accepted as righteous and treated as righteous by God on account of what the Lord Jesus has done. He was made sin; we are made righteousness. On the cross, Jesus was treated as if He were a sinner, though He was perfectly holy and pure, and we are treated as if we were righteous, though we are defiled and depraved. On account of what the Lord Jesus has endured on our behalf, we are treated as if we had entirely fulfilled the Law of God and had never become exposed to its penalty. We have received this precious gift of righteousness from the God of all mercy and grace. To Him be the glory!

Hi and thank you for your thoughts and your expression of Christ… Yes, scripture does teach that righteousness comes through faith in Christ Jesus, therefore, may you be blessed in that faith and the expression of righteousness that comes through that faith… 

 

Be so very blessed in Him, Not me
