Maxed Out
It is proven that small gas engines last longer, and perform better with 100% gasoline in them. Ethanol based fuel shortens their life and it often causes carburetor issues.
I also like creamy French dressing with baby carrots as a snack. I’ve tried generic brands of French dressing but they just weren’t the same as the Kraft brand I like so much. To me Kraft Creamy French is the real French dressing. I know you do not read these posts to hear about my preferences in such matters. That’s not really what this is all about. This is about what you received when you came to Jesus.
When you came to Christ you did not receive a generic brand of righteousness in small quantity. A righteousness laced with a questionable additive that might gum up your life and cause you to perform subpar. Nor did you receive an off brand of righteousness that just isn’t as good as other types.
When you came to Christ in faith God imputed His very own righteousness to you in full measure. You were given the highest level, full measure of righteousness there is. An untainted, 100 proof, not watered down original source righteousness.
A righteousness so powerful it needs nothing added to it in order to do it's job. You will never become more righteous than you were at the start, that you are right now, or that you will be when Jesus returns and you go to be with Him.
You’re “maxed out” on righteousness at this very moment. You’re at the very peak of it, and you’ll remain there.
Now you may not outwardly be manifesting that level of righteousness at this point in your journey, but that could have a lot to do with struggling to believe you have it already and failing to fully take advantage of what it offers you.
His righteousness in you is meant to bear the fruit of wide open, full on fellowship with God! It is meant to bring you before the throne of grace with great boldness to ask for mercy to help in your times of need. You see it is why you have fellowship with God. It is not your performance that secures that for you. It is His righteousness in you. Christ in you secures your ability to be close to the Father.
So I encourage you to enjoy knowing Jesus today and share the blessing of it with someone else. In Jesus there is an overflow of life to offer to others.
