GOD HAS MADE YOU RIGHTEOUS IN CHRIST JESUS 

GOD HAS MADE YOU RIGHTEOUS IN CHRIST JESUS: BE INTENTIONAL TO LIVE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS-CONSCIOUSNESS AND NOT IN SIN-CONSCIOUSNESS! 

GOD has made us RIGHTEOUS, and has embedded in us a default of living in the righteousness-consciousness of Him, in Christ Jesus. And we have to be INTENTIONAL and PRAGMATIC about it, in order to ensure it always, in our day to day living. Otherwise, one will give in to SIN and SIN-CONSCIOUSNESS that contravenes the reality of our rights and privileges in redemption. 

“Now then we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 FOR HE HATH MADE HIM TO BE SIN FOR US, WHO KNEW NO SIN; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:20-21. 

You are the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God MADE possible in Christ Jesus; therefore, live in it without alteration, adulteration, perversion and falsehood. For therein is the BEDROCK to thrive, to glory, to win, to triumph, to be victorious, to be an overcomer, and to be more than a conqueror in life and grace. Also, to be dignified and fulfilled purposefully and meaningfully from the heavenly perspective for your earthly manifestations in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. For God, by Christ Jesus, has given us a righteous stand, upon which we can do LIFE and live GODLY triumphantly to the fulness of our being. 

“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE unto us wisdom, and RIGHTEOUSNESS, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 that, according as it is written, He that GLORIETH, let him glory in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:30-31. 

And anything else outside God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus for your conscience and consciousness is counterfeit, adulteration, delusion, perversion and falsehood in all areas of life – in ramifications and judgement – in the light of God’s holy writ upon which we stand. And with SIN CONSCIOUSNESS, you will STAND before God to be scripturally charged as guilty, shameful, with an inferiority complex, prejudice and such like. While with RIGHTEOUSNESS CONSCIOUSNESS, you can take a STAND in grace to be without guilty, shame, inferiority complex, prejudice and such like, because you are taking your standing upon the deeds of Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

Beloved, it’s your new day, new dawn and a gracious time to raise your head up, shoulders high and on the high heels of faith, in the CONSCIOUSNESS of being God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead, without prejudice, and dissimulation- hypocrisy – on all grounds. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE unto us wisdom, and RIGHTEOUSNES, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:30-31. 

“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; MUCH MORE THEY WHICH RECEIVE ABUNDANCE OF GRACE AND OF THE GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS shall REIGN IN LIFE by one, Jesus Christ . . . 21 that as sin hath reigned unto death, EVEN SO MIGHT GRACE REIGN THROUGH RIGHTEOUSNESS unto ETERNAL LIFE by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17-21. 

“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS, and going about to establish their OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, have not submitted themselves unto THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. 4 For Christ is the end of THE LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS to every one that believeth. 5 For Moses describeth THE RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF THE LAW, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. 6 But THE RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF FAITH speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) . . .” Romans 10:1-13. 

“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the BLOOD of Jesus Christ his Son CLEANSETH us from ALL sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we DECEIVE ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we CONFESS our sins, he is FAITHFUL and JUST to FORGIVE us our sins, and to CLEANSE us from all UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His WORD is not in us” 1 John 1:5-10. 

Further Scriptural Reading In Context: Romans 4:1-25.  

SUMMARY: 

This message is a charge to identity, consciousness, and daily living in Christ. The core thrust is this: God has MADE you RIGHTEOUS in Christ Jesus, therefore live from that reality. 

KEY POINTS 

1. YOUR IDENTITY: MADE RIGHTEOUSINCHRIST JESUS 

GOD HAS MADE YOU RIGHTEOUS — not by works, but by redemption. 
“FOR HE HATH MADE HIM TO BE SIN FOR US, WHO KNEW NO SIN; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:20-21 
“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE unto us wisdom, and RIGHTEOUSNESS, and sanctification, and redemption” 1 Corinthians 1:30-31 

You are not trying to become righteous. You ARE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God MADE possible in Christ Jesus. This is your legal and spiritual standing. 

2. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY: LIVE INTENTIONALLY IN RIGHTEOUSNESS-CONSCIOUSNESS 

God has embedded in us a default of living in righteousness-consciousness. 
But it requires you to be INTENTIONAL and PRAGMATIC about it in day to day living. 

The alternative is dangerous: to give in to SIN and SIN-CONSCIOUSNESS, which contravenes the reality of our rights and privileges in redemption. 

3. THE TWO CONSCIOUSNESSES AND THEIR OUTCOMES

The message sets a clear contrast: 

With SIN CONSCIOUSNESS: 
You STAND before God charged as guilty, shameful, with an inferiority complex, prejudice and such like. 

With RIGHTEOUSNESS CONSCIOUSNESS: 
You can take a STAND in grace — without guilt, shame, inferiority complex, prejudice — because your standing is upon the deeds of Christ Jesus’ stead. 

Anything outside God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus for your conscience is counterfeit, adulteration, delusion, perversion and falsehood in all areas of life, judged in the light of God’s holy writ. 

4. THE BEDROCK AND BLESSING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

To live in righteousness-consciousness is the BEDROCK to: thrive, glory, win, triumph, be victorious, be an overcomer, and be more than a conqueror in life and grace. 
It also positions you to be dignified and fulfilled purposefully from the heavenly perspective for your earthly manifestations in God’s BLESSEDNESS. 
For God, by Christ Jesus, has given us a righteous stand upon which we can do LIFE and live GODLY triumphantly to the fulness of our being. 

5. SCRIPTURAL ANCHORS REINFORCING THE MESSAGE
   Reconciliation & Exchange — 2 Corinthians 5:20-21: We are AMBASSADORS. Christ was made sin so we could be made righteousness. 
   Boast in the Lord — 1 Corinthians 1:30-31: All our glorying must be in the Lord who MADE us righteousness. 
   Reign through Righteousness — Romans 5:17-21: Those who receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness shall REIGN IN LIFE by Jesus Christ. 
   Righteousness by Faith, not Law — Romans 10:1-13: Israel failed because they were ignorant of GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS and tried to establish their OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS. Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth. 
   Walk in the Light — 1 John 1:5-10: If we walk in the light, the BLOOD of Jesus CLEANSETH us from ALL sin. When we CONFESS, He is FAITHFUL and JUST to FORGIVE and CLEANSE us from all UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. 

6. THE FINAL CALL TO ACTION

Beloved, it’s your new day, new dawn. 
Raise your head, shoulders high and on the high heels of faith, in the CONSCIOUSNESS of being God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead, without prejudice and dissimulation — hypocrisy — on all grounds. Amen. 

IN ONE SENTENCE: 

Because God has made you righteous in Christ, refuse sin-consciousness and deliberately walk in righteousness-consciousness — that is how you reign, overcome, and manifest God’s blessedness in daily life.
