“And the effect of righteousness will be peace, And the result of righteousness will be quietness and confident trust forever.” Isaiah 32:17 AMP.
Do you know that there are Christians who aren’t bold and confident enough to communicate in large crowds? They haven’t embraced the righteous nature they received. The third effect of righteousness is confidence and assurance.
Righteousness gives the Christian a sense of security and safety that nothing else can. If you can stand before God without any sense of inferiority, guilt, or condemnation, then in whose presence can you be insecure or unsafe or intimidated? If you can qualify before God, then you qualify before anyone.
The assurance that all is well comes from this knowledge of your oneness with the father. When we discuss righteousness and tell people that it is the same nature of God that we have, it may leave some questions in their minds. Let us further tell them; we don’t just have the same nature, we are joined together with the Lord.
We share the same nature and same life; we are mingled together with Him. When you look at us, you see Him and when you look at Him, you see us. “But the one who joins himself to the Lord is mingled into one spirit with him.” 1 Corinthians 6:17 TPT
This is what gives us confidence and assurance beyond what the security personnel of the president of the greatest nation can give him. We are sure of how things will end with us, working together for our good “We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His] design and purpose.” Romans 8:28 AMPC
CONFESSION
I embrace the righteousness of God that I have received through Jesus Christ. The effect of this righteousness in my life is peace, divine calm, and confident trust forever. I walk in quietness and calm assurance, unshaken by opposition, fear, or intimidation. Hallelujah
