Reigning In The Righteousness of God

Romans 5:17 For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. Romans 5:17 (AMPC) For if because of one man's trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God's] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). 2 Corinthians 5:21 He has made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin: that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. He has made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin… You and I are the righteousness of God in Christ. Otherwise, the crucifixion of Christ was for non-affect. Because of the death of Christ on the cross, him shedding his blood for you and I made you and I righteous once we apply that blood to our lives. We become the righteousness of Christ. Christ no longer walks as a human being on this earth but you and I do. We’ve all heard the saying, we might be the only Bible some people ever read. We might be the only righteousness of God on this earth that anyone ever sees.
