Righteous By Faith

Hope for Healing, Faith for Living Podcast

Summary:

Righteousness is a gift we receive and walk in by faith. It's not our good works. It's receiving what Jesus has done for us and provided for us through His redemptive work.

Scriptures:
James 5:13-16

Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

Romans 3:21-22 NIV

But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.

2 Corinthians 5:21 NIV

God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

Romans 1:17 NIV

For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

2 Corinthians 4:13 NIV

It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.” Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak,

You have to walk in this by faith meaning daily you have to take action. What action? Simply speaking what you believe is an act of faith.

I encourage you to take a step of faith and begin to say that in Christ, you are righteous, you are right with God.
