Christ Our New Righteousness, The Free Gift of God. (EDITED & UPDATED)......deno......share freely.

     Please read and study the scriptures given in this lesson to help you comprehend Gods integrity in this light.....deno.

     In righteousness we were all failures (Romans 3:10-31). But Jesus came and made us all living letters and books written from his grace and from the sure mercies of David (Gods Mercy). He gave us Himself to be our NEW righteousness and the scripture says the church is to know and call Jesus, the Lord our Righteousness (Jeremiah 23:5-6). 
       Now, in the NEW COVENANT,  righteousness is FREELY given to us as a gift from God (Romans 5:17 & 1 Corinthians 2:12). Christ himself now being our righteousness gives us, in righteousness levels,  GREAT BOLD ENTERING ACCESS INTO THE PRESENCE OF GOD AND INTO THE THINGS OF CHRIST and Jesus being our New Righteousness gives us all - RIGHTEOUSNESS GREAT SUCCESS.
       To the Jews righteousness was figured by their works of the Law. But for us in Christ, our minds must be RENEWED to the gift of righteousness, not based on the works of the Law but by faith in Jesus Christ (He died not in vain). Supporting scriptures Romans 10:1-13) Romans 3:19-31) Romans 4:1-25) Romans 5:1) Galations 3:22-26) Galations 3:11-14), 1 Corinthians 1:29-31). Scroll Down.

       To the Jew, their righteousness was based on the works of the Law. One transgression of any Law made them guilty of all in Gods sight. This guilt was a heavy burden to bear and a tremendous condemning weight. This perfection demand and  measure was to high for them or us to reach. It was a huge bundle on their backs which they were not able to carry.
       But when God made  Jesus to be for us our New Righteousness, that was the mighty load lifter. THAT WAS GREAT NEWS FROM THE GOOD NEWS.Oh how the soul becomes lite and filled with light once it sees this truth. Once we learn that in the New and Better Covenant relationship that we have with God as our Father thru Christ, that Jesus himself is now our life and our RIGHTEOUSNESS, we are able to enter into rest in the soul and in the mind. For we stop looking hatefully or despitefully at ourselves like they did who were under the Law, and we start loving ourselves as Jesus loves us looking unto Jesus the author and completer of our faith.
      You and I, well we are never good enough for perfection but Jesus (who God has made to be for us our righteousness) he is always GOOD ENOUGH, HE IS ALWAYS PERFECT, and when He is our RIGHTEOUSNESS the burden is off our backs and has been place all on His and I promise you, He can hold us all up with the power of His PERFECT Righteousness. 
     This GOOD NEWS is part of the rest to our souls that we were SUPPOSED to find in Jesus as we learned what He did for us thru the peace offering of the blood of His Cross. He said, you shall find rest unto your souls when you take My yoke upon yourselves and as you properly learn of Me.
      We, finding out that Jesus is our life (Colossians 3:4) and that Jesus is our righteousness and our eternal redemption (1 Corinthians 1:29-31), all that is certainly rest finding GOOD NEWS truth unto our souls. It is the gift of God. Gospel means THE GOOD NEWS.
       Friend, until it is unto you a free gift, you will not find the rest you seek. You will, in your mind, work and work even in agitating  fear, to try to earn what God has already freely given. You will try to purchase by your works what God has already blessed you with freely thru Christ Purchasing Sufferings, and this error in your theology that is going cross grain against the free gift of God and the free gift of righteousness truth, it will grieve the Spirit of God in you. Such is restlessness in the soul.....deno.
