Romans 1:17 (NET) For the righteousness of God is revealed in the gospel from faith to faith, just as it is written, “The righteous by faith will live.”
Before coming to know the Lord Jesus, Timi was a bad boy indeed. He was so bad that even his mother did not believe he could change. He had always been the black sheep of the family.
Because Timi saw the gospel’s power to change him, he believed it. He had seen what it did to his college roommate. Unknown to everyone, Timi really wanted to change but did not know how, so when he saw how his roommate was Changed by the power of Christ, he too wanted that.
Timi became a righteous and holy person by faith. He believed that he was made righteous because of his faith in Christ Jesus. He believed that his nature had changed and he now had the nature of God. He believed that sin now no longer had power over him. These things he believed controlled his expectations, and his experience followed. Through his faith, he truly became righteous and holy.
As you walk with the Lord, remember that what you believe is key in your walk with the Lord. Faith is such a precious thing. Through it, we apprehend the things Christ has paid for. Without it, we cannot even please God.
Go into today remembering that you have to first believe that you are righteous before the righteousness nature manifests in your daily experiences. You are now a new creature in Christ, created in God’s own nature of Holiness and righteousness. Believe this against all odds, and your righteousness will manifest against all odds.
