WISDOM SERIES SEASON TWO

TOPIC: REIGNING IN LIFE THROUGH CHRIST JESUS

Romans 5: 17 Amplified Version
For if because of one man's offence trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive (God's) overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness (putting them into right standing with Himself) reign as kings in life through the one man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One)

Let's understand the word reign- The greek word for reign from strong concordance dictionary is basileuo which means to rule, to reign over that is to reign as king (exercising dominion).
Greek word for dominion is kratos which means power, strength. To have dominion is to exercise power and strength over something.

What does it mean to rule - This means to exercise ultimate power or authority over an area and it's people that is being in control and dominion of what should happen in that area or not (you're in command, in charge).
It takes a king to achieve this example Christ rule in the heart of believers has the King of kings Revelation 5: 10 We have being made kings to reign (control and dominate the affairs of life) by Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour.

What And What Are You To Rule Over
Ha ha, you have being authorised by Christ to Lord it over Satan, sin, addictions, sickness, death, poverty, failure, divorce, broken relationship, stagnancy, set back, struggle, foolishness, bankruptcy, economic meltdown etc (complete the list)

Christ Righteousness: This kind of righteousness is unmerited, unearned, undeserved, is a kind of righteousness that came freely as a gift to a condemned sinner who dare to believe God by his word that He reconciled us to Himself  that is making us right with Him through the blood of His Son Jesus Christ Ephesians 1:7, no longer counting our sins against us 2 Corinthian 5:19. Reference scripture Luke 18:13-14,Romans10:4-10, Philippians 3:9, Romans 3:21,22,28 Galantian2:21.

This righteousness is forever Hebrew 10:14 and not subject to change because we did wrong, because his blood is always cleansing us from all sins(1 John 1:7) without any confession of sin 1 John 2:1-2. 24/7 the blood of Jesus is cleansing us (all believers) from all our sins. (note, without confession of sin). Confessing of sin is living in doubt in this new covenant.
In conclusion of season 1, righteousness is a  gift to the believer (Romans 5:18-19) ours is to believe (John 6:28-29) and receive it, (Romans 5:17) and start enjoying it (John 10:10 amplified version).

In season 2, we will talk how to reign in life through Christ Jesus.

Accepting the life of  Jesus Christ Into Your Heart
To  do this, pray this prayer with me, Lord Jesus I believe in my heart that you died for my sins and was resurrected by God for my justification, I accept and confess you as my Lord and personal Saviour. Thank u father for saving me in Jesus name Amen.

Continuation of our teaching on Wisdom Series Season One - Righteousness A Gift to a believer

TWO KINDS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
1. Self Righteousness (merit, deserved, earned)
2. Christ Righteousness (unmerited, undeserved, unmerited, unearned)

Self Righteousness: This is the kind of righteousness that came or manifested by keeping the law (then ten commandment of Moses) Romans 10: 1-3, Philippians 3:9. It's by merit, it's brings pride and boasting (Luke 18:9-12) which is also sin. And if you break one commandment you brake all James2:10. This kind of righteousness is operated in the old testament (covenant) and did not work because God find fault with it Hebrews 8:7-13.

WISDOM SERIES

Season One

RIGHTEOUSNESS A GIFT TO THE BELIEVER

II Timothy 3: 15 Knowing the Holy Scriptures make you wise.
Matthew 22: 29 They walk into error because they don't know the scriptures.
Is good we understand the meaning of these key words in our topic to enhance better comprehension. The word Righteousness, Gift and Believer.

What is Righteousness: The Greek word for righteousness from the strong concordance dictionary is dikaios which means being justified (not guilty forever) there by qualified has having right standing with God forever.

What is Gift: The Greek word for gift is charisma which means a gift of grace (an undeserved favour)

Who is a Believer: The Greek word for believe is pisteuo which means having confidence on what one believes that is putting complete trust on Jesus Christ, the complete forgiveness that comes from His blood and all He has achieved for mankind.

There is no righteousness without forgiveness of sin.

What is sin: The Greek word for sin is hamartia which means missing the mark Romans 3:23, all has missed the mark.

What is forgiveness: The Greek word forgiveness is amphasis which means deliverance, pardon and complete forgiveness. It also means sending away, a letting go, a release, that is releasing someone from obligation or debt because of complete forgiveness Ephesians 1:7, Romans 3:24.

When one believes and confesses Jesus Christ has is Lord and personal saviour, all his sins (past, present and future) are completely forgiven (the ones he has committed and will still commit in the future all has being forgiven over 2000 years ago) in the blood of Jesus Christ forever. His release and pardon from paying the debt of sin which is death Romans 6:23 that is justification and his given a gift of righteousness (being justified, not being guilty, thereby qualified has having right standing with God forever).

The righteousness you received has a gift is completely free (unconditional, undeserved, unearned, unmerited Romans 3:20,21,24,27,28, 5:1, Ephesians 2:8-9 New Living Translation) and its not subject to change based on your right or wrong doing because He has perfected you forever by His one sacrifice on the cross Hebrews 10:12,14. So don't have the mentality that when you do wrong you've broken or lost this righteousness and needs confession of sins to reconcile. NO; know that you have been forever reconciled by God through Christ and His not counting your sins against you (2 Corinthians 5:19 NLT) because a perfect substitute was provided to take your place of punishment and death once and for all Hebrews 10:10, 2 Corinthians 5:21, Isaiah 53:4-6. Always be conscious of what Jesus did for you on the cross of calvary (John 3:14)

Note: Every time you fall by doing the wrong thing always confess you're the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:21), not confessing sin (1 John 1:9 is for those who are not in Christ) those in Christ are new creatures 2 Corinthians 5:17 and not under law but under grace Romans 6:14
