Righteousness, Pt. 2


“‘No weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and this is their vindication from me,’ declares the LORD.” Isaiah 54:17


Scripture Focus: Romans 3:21-31


When a deal seems too good to be true, we usually need only to look at the fine print and see that there is a catch. Not so with God! When He offers us His perfect righteousness, the “amazing deal” really is as good as it says. Furthermore, His perfect righteousness marks who He is as a judge, as well. One day all evil will be judged and all will be made right. This is extremely comforting news for those who are oppressed, taken advantage of, or silenced unlawfully.


In the grand scheme of our lives, we also know we need God to be righteous not by another standard of righteousness (His law), but by another mode: free grace. How else could we ever withstand His judgment? This way of salvation is in keeping with both God’s love and His righteousness. Therefore He is at once the “just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus” (Romans 3:26).


Because of Jesus’ shed blood, God declares us righteous. And one of the beautiful aspects of God’s righteousness is there is no “fine print” to worry about. It’s settled!


Insight:  there is no “fine print” to worry about. Once God declares us righteous, we’re righteous!






It is our hopes and prayers that these devotions will bring people to Jesus as Savior and have a deeper meaningful relationship with the Lord.

+DEV+ A New Heart

  Jun 6, 2022 at 12:55 AM CST Topic: +DEV+     A New Heart A New Heart "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh." Ezekiel 36:26     Scripture Focus: Ezekiel 36:22-38 When I first met Stanley, he was in his mid-50s and had spent more years behind bars than free. He had a very difficult time realizing he could be forgiven for committing yet another crime. However, God was working on his heart through prayer, Scripture, and books like Forgive and Forget. This book includes these powerful words: "To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you" (Lewis Smedes, 1984).     Gradually, Stanley did find forgiveness through Jesus. He also discovered that God was transforming his heart and placing a new spirit within him. God removed Stanleys’ stone heart and replaced it with a "heart of flesh." Soon Ezekiel 36:26 became Stanleys' favorite verse in...

LORD OF ALL

  LORD OF ALL By Jonathan Cahn Isaiah 46:9-13 & John 16:33 (Message - Him) This letter is framed by the fact that I’m needing to write it beforehand in midsummer.     So I’m writing it before the autumn.     I believe this September and autumn will be a most critical time.     I believe America is in great trouble and now standing at a precipice - which can lead to repentance, departure, the sealing of judgment, and calamity.     And it can include both shakings and calamities that lead many to return to God.     But no matter what happens or not in the spiritual realm or the physical realm - some things will be true and most importantly in the autumn.     The world changes - but God remains the same.     Everything in this world is temporary.     Everything changes.     People come and go, live and die.     Parties come to power and are driven from power.     Kingdoms ...

Ordained Minister looking to find a small rural church near Rolla Missouri to serve as its pastor

 "WHAT I BELIEVE" I believe tat Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died vicariously on a roman cross, arose from the dead on the third day, many saw him for 45 days and then ascended into heaven with the promise to send the Holy Spirit to help and guide us and that he would return in the same manner. He commissioned his disciples (us) to proclaim the Gospel (good news) to all. I believe in the Baptism in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues, as a separate and distinct ministry of the third person in the Holy Trinity. After some 25 years of study in end times events, I believe Jesus is about to return as the prophecies are becoming headline news today. All key points are now in place for the Antichrist to take the stage of the World. However I also believe the antichrist is held back by Christians, which will soon be removed (raptured) at which time he will step in and supposedly cure all our problems and every one left will ohh and ahh about...
