Living My Life To Honor Jesus... The Habit of Righteousness/Rashea@LLO2 Academy
Holiness is God's divine nature. Righteousness is the fruit or acts of His divine nature or state of existence in function, formation and formula. God in us.
The function of God is His acts, movements, momentum, personality, character and behavior.
The formation of God is his physics and identity in spirit, soul and body.
The formula of God is his principles, concepts and how they work in its dynamics geometrically, demographically, numerically, scientifically, spiritually, agriculturally and economically through creation and the universe.
When we habitually practice righteousness through justification through faith in Jesus, the function, formation and formula of God is active within us. It is the Holy Spirit within us who reveals and empowers us to habitually walk in righteousness before God. Outside of the boarders of justification, our own efforts to please God fall short. We must live to honor God through Jesus alone.
We are made righteous to produce righteousness. The order is justification then sanctification. In order to reflect Jesus we must know who Jesus is.
You cannot pattern your life after Jesus, if you do not know Him. We come into the true knowledge and understanding of Jesus by spending time in the Word of God and allowing the Holy Spirit to give us divine insight into Who and what Jesus is. If you do not know who Jesus is you will present before others a distorted function, formation and formula if Jesus.👀💭 Let that sink in.
Righteousness is the act of bearing good fruit. Righteousness is not tight (too rigid). Righteousness is right. Righteousness through Jesus keeps us on the right path and draws us closer to Him.
Righteousness is the nature of Christ alive within us. We cannot live to appease the flesh (our fallen nature) and think we are okay with God. Habitually sinning as a believer or a leader is not okay with God, and it should not be okay with us. Jesus rebuked the church in the Book of Revelation for being lukewarm (Revelation 3:14-17).
I don't believe in being extreme or religious with Christianity. However, we still have to obey the Word of God and the Holy Spirit. We live to honor Jesus out of devotion not restrictive religious and manmade systems that others are not following themselves.👀💭 Let that sink in.🤦♀️👀
Through Jesus, as children of God, we are to yield our bodily faculties as instruments of righteousness (Romans 6:13, 16 &19). Our bodily faculties are our will, emotions, senses, intellect, heart, bodies, spirit, conscience, and conscious. Yes. We are to live our lives free from the domination and oppression of sin.
In order to walk in righteousness, you have to obey God. You have to do what He says and not what you or what others want that is contrary to the Scriptures. Just because you failed before, doesn't mean you have to keep failing. Build new habits of righteousness, with God's help.
We are to delight in the Word of God and uphold the Word by how we live. Yes. We should live differently than the world. They should behold the righteousness of God at work within us.
For we are the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus (2Corinthians 5:21). We are not righteous on our own, but we are made righteous through Jesus and through the ministry work of the Holy Spirit within us. We are justified and sanctified to be edified through righteousness that God will be glorified in us, through us and around us.
