Righteousness revealed.

Romans 1:17
For in the gospel, the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”

Jesus Christ died for your sins, was buried and rose again on the third day for your justification. This is the Gospel, which means good news.

The verse says, in the Gospel the righteousness of God is revealed. Based on what Jesus did, God not only declares you right in His eyes but also makes you right in his presence. It has nothing to do with your perfections or imperfections, because you see, it's simply because of what Jesus has done. God takes what Jesus has done and credits it to your account. This is good news. You are not a sinner, you are not unworthy, you are not useless, the blood of Jesus has made you righteous, worthy and useful. The day you accepted Christ, you became the righteousness of God in Christ. Be conscious that you are declared right and that you are made right in the eyes of God based on the works and blood of Jesus. The moment you see yourself as God sees you, your faith will go to another level, your prayers will become effective and your life glorious. A strong, deep and abiding revelation of righteousness will result in a strong faith.

Friend, the works of Jesus has given you the awesome privilege of being right in the eyes of God. The gospel become effective in your life when you are walking in the reality of who you are in Christ. God is not mad at you and is not waiting to punish you. Jesus has paid the price for you and God is well pleased with you because you have believed the gospel. For God made Jesus who knew no sin to be sin for us, so that we might be made the righteousness of God in Christ. 'I am the righteousness of God in Christ'.
