"For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him" (2 Corinthians 5:21).

When we talk about righteousness, it's often used so generically that many don't understand what it actually means. Righteousness is, first and foremost, the nature of God. It is His nature of rightness, His ability to be right and do right only and always. Just as we say God is love, meaning love is His nature, so is rightness His nature.

Furthermore, righteousness is God's perfection, accuracy and distinction in glory. Righteousness distinguishes God in glory from every other being. This righteousness is absolutely unattainable by man or any creature. Therefore, in His benevolence, God attributes, bestows or imputes His righteousness to man.

Romans 5:17 says, "For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ." The gift of righteousness refers to the legal righteousness that's been given to the whole world as a gift through Christ Jesus. But righteousness is more than a legal standing; it brings us into oneness with Him.

When you were born again and received eternal life, you became one with the Lord. You didn't only receive legal righteousness, you received His nature of righteousness. You became righteous with His righteousness. 2 Corinthians 5:21 says, "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."

Now you can live right, walk right and talk right. He made you righteous so you can produce fruits and works of righteousness. It's your nature to live righteously before a righteous and holy God. Walk in the consciousness of this truth; you're justified, sanctified, and made perfect in Christ Jesus. You're the epitome of His righteousness. Hallelujah!

Prayer

Dear Father, thank you for imparting to me your nature of righteousness. I walk in the consciousness of the truth that I'm justified, sanctified, and made perfect in Christ. I reign in life by righteousness and manifest your glory everywhere, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
