Jeremiah 23:6
In His days Judah will be saved, And Israel will dwell safely; Now this is His name by which He will be called: THE Lord OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Jesus is your righteousness. He is the reason you are righteous. He makes you right with God.
Since Jesus is alive forever, your righteousness is forever because Jesus is your righteousness. Your righteousness is locked in Jesus and in Him is your righteousness secured. He is the guarantee that we are righteous. Some one might ask you, How did you become righteous?-- Where did you go? What did you do? How many good works did you perform? What sacrifice you offered? How many hours you prayed or fasted? How many hours you cried? How many steps you climbed? Be bold and answer, None of these, it's only because of Jesus for He is my righteousness. When this truth becomes a reality to you, you will be excited about serving Jesus and sharing Him with the world. You begin to live for Jesus and die for Him. Righteousness is not by your works, it's by the works of Jesus and therefore Jesus becomes your righteousness.
Friend, since Jesus is your righteousness, you won't lose your righteousness by making mistakes. Mistakes don't take away your righteousness because your perfections didn't make you righteous. Jesus is your righteousness. By all means, stay connected to Him. Live in Him, walk in Him, talk in Him for He is your righteousness. This is your time to rule and reign for Jesus is your Lord.
