WHO IS RIGHTEOUS?



TEXT: Psalm 32:2
                Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
The bible tells us that we are made the children of God because we believe in Jesus, and through His blood we have been called into the Kingdom of God. Righteousness to God is not by being a nice or kind person. It is by being a child of God; the children of God are people that always do the will of God. They are people that have accepted Jesus as their savior and are redeemed from sin into eternal life.  John1:12 says; “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:” the only way to be a child of God is to accept Jesus, that is why the Bible says in Matthew 11:27 that “All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.” So the only way to God is Jesus Christ, He is the savior of the whole world from sin.
                No one is actually righteous, only God is righteous, and this God is the righteousness that we claim when we say we are righteous. This is why the bible says “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; “Romans 3:23. God has considered those that believe in Jesus as righteous by His grace, this is so because only righteous people can be with Him forever, to obtain this righteousness, all you should do is to accept Jesus, and God will take you as righteous, and you will be a child of God.
                God is the only solution to the troubles and pains that this world brings, because Jesus has overcome for us, John 16:33 says; “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” It is this that gives us the assurance that we always have victory in Jesus over any situation, but this applies only to the children of God.
                If you have not accepted Jesus, this is another opportunity for you to do so, just say this prayer.
