“And since they’ve ignored the righteousness God gives, wanting instead to be acceptable to God because of their own works, they’ve refused to submit to God’s faith-righteousness. For Christ is the end of the law. And because of him, God has transferred his perfect righteousness to all who believe.” Romans 10:3-4 TPT
Our understanding of the word of God in the light of what our Lord Jesus Christ has accomplished is very important. You can’t claim to have understood the word of God if your understanding is not consistent with the provisions of the gospel of Christ Jesus.
What I mean is, as a Christian, your interpretation and application of the scriptures must depend entirely on Jesus Christ’s complete work on the cross. Never think you can improve what Christ has accomplished. Remember, complete wholeness is equal to Christ’s work plus zero works. We were born into rest, so continue in rest.
It’s important not to ignore God’s way of making men righteous and instead try to establish your own system through your own works. This is how they rejected God’s righteousness, and sadly, many Christians are like this today.
Accept that Christ’s actions alone were sufficient for your health, wealth, ministry, family, and everything else you desire. 2 Peter 1:3 reveals that all things we need for life and godliness have been given to us freely. Notice the difference between ‘given’ and ‘will be given’; it was done before you were born. Submit to the righteousness of rest, which is the righteousness of faith.
God transferred His own righteousness to you the moment you believed the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Even now, you can simply declare, “I receive my healing in the name of Jesus Christ,” and it will be so. Praise God.
PRAYER
Heavenly Father, Thank You for the gift of righteousness that comes through faith in Your Son, Jesus Christ. I acknowledge that your perfect work on the cross is sufficient for my life, health, family, and every need. Thank you Lord, for transferring your perfect righteousness to me the moment I believed. I rest in your love, grace, and power. In Jesus’ name, Amen
