Romans 4:5 GOD justifies the ungodly who do not work but believe in Him, and their faith is counted or credited as righteousness, GOD imputed righteousness on Abraham, at that instance Abraham received the righteousness of GOD, he and GOD had the same righteousness, if JESUS CHRIST is counted to us righteousness and GOD poured JESUS on us as our righteousness then my righteousness is as clean as JESUS’s righteousness, JESUS and I have the same righteousness. Your righteousness is a person, JESUS, so your righteousness cannot fail but your conduct can fail, Lot’s conduct failed, but he was called righteous Lot. 1 Peter 2:8-9 A stone that causes people to stumble and a rock that makes them fall. They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for. But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, GOD’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light, he separates Lot because he defined him as righteous, he is not part of the unjust, and that is why the angels delivered him. We meet a lot of righteous Lot, defeated Christians.
One saved forever saved, the blood of bulls and goats takes a nation for a year, is it the blood of GOD that will not stay with us forever, just because you sinned you are missing your salvation, and you won’t be ruptured, then you do not understand the blood of JESUS that saved you. Because GOD didn’t save you to condemn you, some Christians still have the problem with one saved forever saved. You don’t know the work of the blood and you think it is not potent, because in your mind, you think sin is adultery, fornication but Revelation 21:8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death says, those who fear will go to hell, fear is part of it, unbelief is sin, and worry is too. So does it mean that every time you worry, afraid, or doubt, you have lost your salvation, you cannot be ruptured, no, if you go down that lane where you think righteousness is worse than you will make it, then who shall be saved, that is why it is a gift, Christianity has to be work-oriented, that is why some say they are tired, it is not supposed to be so, JESUS said my yoke is easy, my burden is light, for the outward man perishes, your inward man is renewed day by day. If you are suffering from anything that is not building you inside, then it’s an attack, there is something wrong either a revelational problem about what you are going through or what is happening to you is not GOD. Because if it is from GOD then you’re waiting will build revelation, and tenacity in you. You will understand why GOD delayed, that is why Moses when he came to understand the ways of GOD didn’t argue with GOD that he would not enter the promised land.
The Bible says once we believe we together with Abraham are called righteous, the same righteousness, GOD’s full righteousness. In 2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of GOD and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, the word instruction is the word plea which means wholesome training, that means GOD breathed for wholesome training in righteousness. A child is no less human than a baby, so a baby that is born is fully human at birth, but the child has to be trained to live like a human, not an animal, so when you are born again into GOD’s life, there is a training that will cause you to fully express the righteousness of GOD. You do in word and indeed, you train to replicate GOD’s love, JESUS said love as I have loved you, which means that any love that is not the way GOD will love is suspect. Love somebody as GOD loves you, with all your nonsense, GOD forgave you. You have no right not to forgive someone, that is how you love, so if you love indeed, you give everything, then you are trained in revealing righteousness to people. Amen!!!
