Your Righteousness in Christ Explained (Biblical Teaching)

What is your righteousness in Christ and does God still see you as righteous after you fall into sin as a believer? In this video, I talk about what it means to be the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus and how God sees you as a believer when you fall back into sin. We'll dive deep into the scriptures to talk about who you are as a born-again believer, how you were created, your old sinful nature, and what Jesus did on the cross when He came to this earth. Then we'll go into what righteousness is and how God sees your new nature in Christ.

This was a great, well executed teaching. The Holy Spirit revealed a new revelation to me this week that Adam, before the fall, had the righteousness of God. Being made in the image & likeness of God- God's perfect nature was apart of him. After the fall, Jesus' sacrifice restored mankind and is in Christ we have the power, dominion and authority given in Genesis. ❤

Don't ever stop teaching. You are absolutely gifted!❤

Thank you so much for this explanation. This was rhema for me: I was in Jesus when He died on the cross and i resurrected with him. The picture of the pregnant woman carrying her baby wherever she goes was what I needed to hear. Wow Thank you. May God increase you in Jesus Name.

Great video.
Our walk is only by faith, by faith We are righteous, by faith We cannot sin, by faith We are holy...to walk by sight is the opposite of faith and We must be dead to what We see.

I haven't even finished listening to your message and feel better. A lifelong believer, I still struggled with this very question - am I righteous in Christ? Thanks SO SO very much for your testimony at the door! God bless you! 🙏

Brother I'm not gonna lie. I was half expecting your video to eventually lead into some kind of fruit inspection. Or possibly even works loading. You nailed it! God bless you, and thank you in His name! I too used to have assurance issues, but thanks to His lovingkindness and some honest and sound teachers like yourself, I was pulled out of that way of thinking.

[MinTimothyTate]

This was an excellent teaching! Full of substance, but yet simple to understand. Thank you for sharing. I think I'll check out some more of your videos.

And this is why Jesus said that you can't put new wine into old wine skins. Excellent video.

[glendagajsek-shears]

Just like a baby I seem to trip up but even more than a baby... Seem to really struggle with my sin nature and give it more power.
And keep blaming or get mad or child-like behaviour... And the spiritual attacks with bad spirits? And real deliverance and healing of Christ and His spirt working through us.

[MartinKaonda-vv]

This video is great, I have been battling with fear and I started feeling maybe I am no longer God's child that's why the devil can make we so afraid, maybe God is angry at me I failed the test so i find it hard to even pray

Please pray for me I need the intercession of Gods Children

Law was something we could not live abide by on our own God

Gives us Grace

Salvation is in two part dying and live a new life

In 2 Cor. 5:21 the words “to be” in the phrase “to be sin” are not in the Greek. The text says “he made him sin.” This is probably a picture, an illustration, of what sin looks like – the agony, the cruelty, the wickedness, all put on public display with the intended result being, “…so that in him we might be becoming the righteousness of God.” We see the innocent Son of God tortured, suffering and dying, knowing that it is because of our collective sinful actions and attitudes. Our sin is the cause of this atrocity, and we should recoil in shock and run away from evil and toward righteousness.

Furthermore, sin is an action that takes place in time, and cannot be transferred to another time or person, nor can something or someone become literally sin. Sin is not an object or a substance that can be moved or transferred, bought or sold. To say that Christ became legally sin in our place would mean that Christ merely accepted a temporary legal label called “sin” and it would also be a lie. Claiming that God labeled Jesus as "sin" in order to effectuate atonement is to have God agree to a fraudulent scheme that you would expect from a shady lawyer or politician! If Jesus was literally “made sin, ” then he would not have been an acceptable sacrifice to God.

“…So that IN him we might become the righteousness of God, ” not "from him." "In" is about association, solidarity, not a transfer. It is by being “in” Christ that we can have God’s righteousness, which is about following Christ as our leader, living and behaving as he did. Righteousness is what we do because we are associated with Christ. It is not delegated or assigned to us.
“Become the righteousness of God” in Greek is, “be becoming the righteousness of God.” This is about transitioning from a condition of unrighteousness, toward righteousness. Becoming righteous is not a status or a position or a transfer, or a declaration. It is similar to, "that we might die to sin and live to righteousness" in 1 Peter 2:24.
The greater context is about Christ reconciling us to God, which is relational, not legal. If an external righteousness is transferred to us in total disregard of our actually ceasing to offend, no genuine reconciliation has occurred. The plea of Paul is that WE be reconciled TO God. The first step in any process of reconciliation is to stop offending. Until the offenses cease, there can be no genuine reconciliation. So, to read this passage with the idea that we are not required to stop offending and that reconciliation occurs due to an imparting of righteousness from a third party destroys the very intent of the passage, which is that we be reconciled TO God.
