RIGHTEOUSNESS—THE NATURE OF GOD

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).

PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD.

When we talk about righteousness, it’s often used so generically that many don’t understand what it actually means. Righteousness is, first and foremost, the nature of God. It is His nature of rightness, His ability to be right and do right only and always. Just as we say God is love, meaning love is His nature, so is rightness His nature.

Furthermore, righteousness is God’s perfection, accuracy and distinction in glory. Righteousness distinguishes God in glory from every other being. This righteousness is absolutely unattainable by man or any creature. Therefore, in His benevolence, God attributes, bestows or imputes His righteousness to man.

Romans 5:17 says, “For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.” The gift of righteousness refers to the legal righteousness that’s been given to the whole world through Christ Jesus. But righteousness is more than a legal standing; it brings us into oneness with God.

When you were born again and received eternal life, you became one with the Lord. You didn’t only receive legal righteousness, you received His nature of righteousness. You became righteous with His righteousness. 2 Corinthians 5:21 says, “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.”

Now you can live right, walk right and talk right. He made you righteous so you can produce fruits and works of righteousness. It’s your nature to live righteously before a righteous and holy God. Walk in the consciousness of this truth; you’re justified, sanctified, and made perfect in Christ Jesus. You’re the epitome of His righteousness. Hallelujah!

PRAYER 

Dear Father, thank you for imparting to me your nature of righteousness. I walk in the consciousness of the truth that I’m justified, sanctified, and made perfect in Christ. I reign in life by righteousness and manifest your glory everywhere, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY

Romans 5:17 AMPC; For if because of one man’s trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God’s] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

Philippians 3:7-9; But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

Romans 4:2-5 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. 4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6TH 2025 LET THE GOSPEL BE YOUR PASSION For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth... (Romans 1:16). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME Dsc. Dsc. DD. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God to save, heal, deliver and transform lives. That’s why it must be a message you understand, live by, and burn with passion to share with others especially as the coming of the Lord draws nearer than we’ve ever known. Paul the Apostle declared that he was not ashamed of the Gospel. That statement came from a place of deep conviction and unwavering commitment. For him, preaching the Gospel wasn’t optional but life itself. He lived for the Gospel and was willing to die for its advancement. Read His inspiring and heart-stirring words in Acts 20:22-27, “And now, behold, I go bound in the spirit unto Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall befall me there: Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying ...

MONDAY, 14TH JULY 2025 THE VIRGIN BIRTH CONFIRMS HIS DEITY   Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us  (Matthew 1:23). PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME    When we say Jesus Christ is deity, we’re affirmingthat He is God. This claim is significant, especially when you consider that many around the world view Jesus merely as a prophet or a great teacher. While it may seem respectful for some to call Him a great prophet or a remarkable teacher, these assertions fall far short of His true identity.    That’s the reason it’s important to understand who He really is by first examining the miracle of His birth. TheBible describes His birth as extraordinary, something that had never occurred in all of history. Matthew 1:18 says, “Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with c...
