The Kitchen Table Devotions
Day 24
“Righteousness”
This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed; 26 for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.
Romans 3:25-26
Righteousness reveals righteousness and love leads to love and we all reap what we sow. Every one of us wants to be “right”. If we want to be “right” then we must sow what is “right”. The Bible says that righteousness comes by faith. To be “right” we must believe the only One who can make us “right”. So, it’s not what I think, it’s what He knows. It’s not what they say, but what He says. It’s not what I’ve done but what He did. Jesus is the justifier of all who just put their faith in Him. They just let His word, His work, and His will totally influence their wants, their walk, and their words. It’s amazing! Thank you Jesus for making me “right”.
