Submit To Righteousness

Apostle Grace Lubega

Romans 10:3 (KJV); For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

There are people who disagree with the doctrine of righteousness. However, there are those who agree with it but are not SUBMITTED to it.

They confess that they are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, the finished work of the Christ at Calvary and the fact that sin has no dominion over them because they are not under the law but under the grace.

They AGREE with these amazing truths but they are not SUBMITTED to them.

What is the character of a man who submits to righteousness?

One of the principle characters of a man who submits to righteousness is that he quickly turns to Christ and His grace when he sees a moral failing in his life; if such a person makes a mistake and falls to sin in the flesh, he is convicted of it but not condemned of it.

Never allow guilt to infiltrate your spirit, submit to the teaching of grace and imputed righteousness through faith because this truth consistently points you to Christ and what He has done and not what you have done in the flesh.

Choose to look at what Christ has done in you. Let it be your reflex response to any shortcoming in the flesh. As you do, your flesh will submit to His word. Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET:

Never allow guilt to infiltrate your spirit, submit to the teaching of grace and imputed righteousness through faith because this truth consistently points you to Christ and what He has done and not what you have done in the flesh. Choose to look at what Christ has done in you. Let it be your reflex response to any shortcoming in the flesh. As you do, your flesh will submit to His word.

PRAYER: Father, I thank You for this Word. I submit to the doctrine of righteousness. I am not just a hearer of it, I am a humble student of it and heed to it as one that is obedient and continuously eager to learn. I look to Your finished work at Calvary and walk in its understanding every day of my life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
