The Righteous Reign

Romans 5:17 tells us that through one man's disobedience, death reigned but those that receive abundance of grace and God's free gift of righteousness will reign as kings in life.

Reigning as a king in life is not dependent on what we do or what we do not do, it is dependent on who we are. And if you are born again, you are now the righteousness of God. Righteousness has become your nature. That righteousness is your nature means that nothing could ever make you unrighteous because nature cannot be reversed. A man will always be a man because he was born a man. Behaving like a woman or a beast will not serve to make him either of those things. So it is with righteous people.

 Righteousness is the Blessing. Righteousness is God's own life and nature. When we became righteous because of the finished work of Jesus, we became just like God; equal with God.

Righteousness is the force that makes us winners in life. Sadly, many believers have been more self-conscious or works-conscious or devil-conscious than they have been righteousness conscious. But when we begin to be conscious and we stay conscious of this righteousness that we now are, we will begin to reign over the affairs of life.
