THE GENESIS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin? that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
2 Corinthians 5:21 (KJV)
Righteousness means in right standing with Yahweh. Yahweh created man and placed him in Eden. In Eden, man was in right standing with Yahweh. We saw in Genesis 3:8 that Yahweh was walking in the garden in the cool of the day. He usually comes to fellowship with man in the cool of the day. It takes righteousness to stand before the Lord. Then, man committed treason and fall from his right standing position with the Father. Consequently, he lost the presence of Yahweh, and was driven out of the Eden, the place of delight. Sin is at the root of every form of deprivation in life. Sin was what pushed man out of the presence of Yahweh. In the interim, Yahweh was walking with people as they chose to obey His instructions to them. That was how Abraham stood out. Abraham was a Yahweh addict. Yahweh’s instructions was the delight of Abraham and that won him a covenant with the El-Shaddai. Then through the descendants of Abraham, the law was introduced to see if man can align in right standing again with Yahweh. But throughout all generations, no man has been able to keep the law. Yahweh saw the deplorable situation of humanity and decided to come to their rescue. Yahweh came in the person of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach and fulfilled the law. the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach became sin, so that we can become the righteousness of Yahweh in Him according to our opening text.
The Lord Yahushua HaMashiach is the genesis of righteousness for anyone that believes in Him. This is because He was the only one that can fulfil the righteous demands of the law. Yahweh accepted Yahushua’s sacrifice to satisfy the demand of justice for sin. Now, in HaMashiach, Yahweh sees me as righteous and in right standing. Righteousness is not “goody-goody” way of acting or something that can be attained. Righteousness is a free gift of Yahweh, provided by the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach at Calvary through the grace of Yahweh. In HaMashiach, we are in right standing with Yahweh and that not a function of anything that we have done. There is nothing anyone could have done to merit this right standing with Yahweh. We have been made right with Yahweh. The Lord Yahushua is the mediator between Yahweh and man. When a man accepts Yahushua, he is moved into a position of new birth. He enters into the kingdom of Yahweh as Yahweh’s very own child and a joint-heir with the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach. Consequently, there are certain privileges, certain rights, certain freedoms that we have as children of Yahweh because we are in right standing with Him.
You can never be free from sin, if you are not in right standing with Yahweh!
REMEMBER: The Lord Yahushua HaMashiach is the genesis of righteousness.
CONFESSION: I am the righteousness of Yahweh in the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach and that not for anything that I did. It is a gift of Yahweh and am grateful and prize it so preciously all the days of my life. Halleluyah!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: Everything that defiles shall be swallowed up by the force of righteousness today in the name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
