What if i were to tell you that you can have a FREE gift. Most would say if it's free it's for me. :) Ah yes, BUT what if this gift was worth more than all the money in the whole world, and there was no way you could buy it or earn it, it was just 100 % FREE. You would be eager to know more right? Today I am going to tell you about this free gift. It is the gift that comes along with believing in Jesus Christ. You see in Genesis we read how Adam and Eve sinned by eating the apple in the garden of Eden. From that point on we were all deemed "sinners". Now you don't have to do anything to become a sinner except be born. God didn't want things this way though, so He sent His son Jesus Christ to earth to take on all of the sin of the world. Jesus was brutally beaten, and whipped. Jesus himself had not sinned, but He took on our sin. He was crucified on the cross, and died for OUR sins! From that point on whom ever believed in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior was given a FREE gift. This free gift is the Righteousness of God. Yes, was an AMAZING gift... one we don't deserve but is given to us for FREE!
So let me explain this a little more...Because of one man we were deemed sinners, and because of one man we were deemed Righteous. There is no amount of money, no good deed, nothing that can get you this gift EXCEPT through Jesus Christ. Now with this free gift you now walk in this life as the Righteousness of God. Though you still sin, nothing can change your status as Righteous. That doesn't mean this is a free card to sin as much as you want. When you become righteous you will find yourself wanting to make better choices. Whenever you find yourself in a situation that you feel weak say out loud " I am the Righteousness of God" Keep saying it over and over again, Confess it and soon you will see sin flee.
Some scripture to look up on this subject:
* Romans 3:20, 3:21, 4:1, 4:2, 5:12
* Galatians 2:16, 3:19
* Exodus 20
