DOING RIGHT BECAUSE OF HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS
DOING RIGHT BECAUSE OF HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS
If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of him. —I John 2:29
Doing what is right flows out of His righteousness. Those who have been born of God have the righteousness of God (II Corinthians 5:21) and that righteousness of God will transform a person on the inside. That which is the core of a person will produce fruit from that core now that the Holy Spirit of God resides in them ( I Corinthians 6:19-20). There will be evidence in a person’s life that they have truly repented (Acts 26:20). Doing right for Him comes out of our being right with Him who is righteous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfiC6rkhOY8 May we be me right with the Righteous One (I John 2:1) and be about the right deeds He has appointed for us (Ephesians 2:10). May it be so!
Dear Father may I be doing those right things that You desire because of what You have done for me through the righteousness of Your Son. May I be doing what is right out of His righteousness. May this be so in the power of Your Holy Spirit and in the authority of Jesus.
