BORN INTO RIGHTEOUSNESS

Romans 5:17 (KJV) 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. A gift is something you don’t work for. It requires no personal effort, only the willingness to receive it. The Bible says we have received the gift of righteousness. It wasn’t achieved by our effort but given through God’s grace because of Jesus’ death on the cross. You’re perfectly righteous in God’s sight, regardless of what happened yesterday. When God looks at you, He doesn’t see your past; He sees Christ, who was slain for mankind. It’s the righteousness of Christ that speaks for you, not your performance. Does this mean you should live carelessly? No. Scripture says it’s God who works in us both to will and to do. Today, embrace the truth that you’re clean in God’s sight and continue to shine for His glory. PRAYER FOR TODAY Lord, thank You for the gift of righteousness. Help me to live daily with confidence in who I am in Christ, reigning in life and reflecting Your glory in every area of my walk. PROPHETIC DECLARATION I decree and declare that righteousness reigns in my heart, my home, my finances, my relationships and my destiny. Thank You, Lord, for the gift of righteousness!
