Romans 3:28 Therefore, we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law.

Romans 4:2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.

Romans 4:5   But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness,

Never underestimate the power of faith in Christ to be made righteous.

Knowing for certain that you are righteous opens a vast array of opportunities.

You have peace when you know that your relationship with God is good and forever will be. You receive the kingdom by faith in Jesus and all that He offers you.

In Christ, we are made righteous with God’s righteousness, not our own.

Romans 3:21 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference;

2Corinthians 5:21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

No one can improve on the righteousness of God. It is set apart from any and all other kinds of righteousness, and it is the only righteousness God accepts.  It is the only righteousness that can produce peace and joy.  It is the righteousness we now have in Christ.

Kingdom living, which is living in the righteousness of God given as a gift, produces over-comers who, through faith, have inherited the promises!  It produces confidence, unlike anything you’ve ever known.

Kingdom living is living according to the Spirit.  It made it possible for Jesus to do all He did.  Because Jesus knew He had a relationship with His Father, even when there was silence in Gethsemane, Jesus could be reconciled to His Father’s will and walk in peace which enabled him to have joy that would enable Him to endure the shame of the cross!

It will do the same for you when you put your faith in Jesus and, by faith, surrender to the Holy Spirit as a seeker of the kingdom.

Remember, “It is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”

Righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit with power is the kingdom!
