Bible Study (5) – The
Righteousness of GOD’S Name – December 31, 2023
We can know righteousness when we
know and walk with JESUS.
Our focus scripture is Jeremiah
23:5-6 and Romans 3:10b, 21-26.
Our human heritage comes via our physical ancestral
lineage, which can open us up to a wide variety of human traits, BOTH GOOD AND
BAD.
Our Spiritual heritage comes via
our Spiritual relationship which comes from GOD, our FATHER, HIS SON and our
potential Savior, JESUS, and The Holy Spirit.
Consider our human spirit, as a
human spiritual egg. It can be fertilized by GOD/Satan/the world, which each person controls. When The Holy
Spirit or Divine Sperm unites with the human spirit conception takes place instantly. This takes place in the eyes of a person's heart
where truth resides. Every person has a choice. When a person chooses to accept
GOD’S invitation to become a member of HIS Family, conception takes place quicker
than the twinkle of the eye.
This conception makes every person
unique within the Family of GOD. The Holy Spirit or the Divine Sperm, provides
every person the characteristics GOD desires for that person to have. Thus, all
who are Spirit-born have GOD’S unique characteristics, which GOD desires for
each Spirit-born person. We could consider these characteristics as Gifts of the
Spirit. Thus, GOD, our Heavenly FATHER, has a plan for our lives within HIS
Kingdom upon earth and in Heaven a er we exit our appointed me upon earth.
When a person is “born-again” in
his/her spirit, that person is made righteous by the presence of GOD in that person.
How is that possible?
When a person accepts JESUS as
his/her Savior, the shed blood of JESUS cleanses that person from his/her sin
and GOD considers that person cleansed from all sin, thus righteous or “justified” before GOD.
What does it mean to be justified before GOD?
Just-as-if-I-never-sinned!
The person accepting JESUS as
his/her Savior has been cleansed by the shed blood of JESUS.
How is that possible? When a
person places his/her faith in JESUS, the shed blood of JESUS cleanses that
person from all his/her sins. JESUS is the second Adam and completed what the
first Adam did not do. JESUS physically conquered the penalty for sin, which is
eternal death, for all who place their faith in HIM.
When JESUS was crucified upon the
cross and HE gave up HIS SPIRIT, Jesus’ human body died, and HIS death proved
he was human. JESUS gave up HIS earthly life. When HE gave up his earthly life
and HE trusted HIS FATHER, GOD, to resurrect HIM from the physically dead to
his new eternal body. JESUS walked upon earth for 40 days mee ng with and
revealing Himself to various people to reveal that HE was alive. JESUS then
ascended into Heaven and took HIS seat at the right-hand of GOD as our
intercessor and Heavenly Advocate.
JESUS intercedes for us in the
Heavenly court. Why? Satan is our accuser and desires for Spirit-born believers
to be rendered ineffective.
All people are in Spiritual battle. We who have been Spirit-born have the Holy Spirit as our protector but
there are times when temptation on overtakes even a Spirit-born person, and he/she
sins. When a Spirit born person sins, that person must confess his/her sin and
ask for forgiveness.
Spirit-born people are in ba le every day and must suit up
for war each day. We read In Ephesians 6 10 Finally, be strengthened
by the Lord and by his vast strength. 11 Put on the full armor of
God so that you can stand against the schemes of the devil. 12 For
our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against
the authori es, against the cosmic powers of this darkness, against evil,
spiritual forces in the heavens. 13 For this reason take up the full
armor of God, so that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having
prepared everything, to take your stand. 14 Stand, therefore, with
truth like a belt around your waist, righteousness like armor on your chest, 1 and
your feet sandaled with readiness for the gospel of peace. 16 In
every situation take up the shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the
flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and
the sword of the Spirit—which is the word of God. 18 Pray at all times
in the Spirit with every prayer and request and stay alert with all
perseverance and intercession for all the saints.
If the Spirit-born person is
GOD’S Son or Daughter, does that person need to confess his/her sins? Hiding
your sin gives opportunity for Satan and his minions opportunity to a ack you.
Take that opportunity away from Satan and confess your sin to GOD and ask HIM
to forgive you and give you strength to not repeat it or them.
We must trust the one true GOD,
WHO not only forgives but forgets. WOW!!!
GOD knows how we are as humans
because HE formed us. So, at the moment of salva on, GOD gives the Holy Spirit
to all to indwell and unite with the human spirit of those who accept JESUS as
their Savior.
Jeremiah 23:5-6:
The Righteous Branch of David
He will reign wisely as king and administer justice and
righteousness in the land.
6 In his days Judah will be saved, and
Israel will dwell securely. This is the name he will be called:
The LORD Is Our Righteousness.[a]
The Prophet Jeremiah wrote the
words regarding a righteous branch coming from David. That righteous branch is
JESUS. David’s ancestral lineage can be read in Ma hew 1:1-14. Mary’s ancestral
line is important and her lineage in listed in Luke 3:23-28.
To me the important lineage is
through Mary since the Holy Spirit is The Divine Sperm from GOD.
Romans 3:10b-13:
10 as it is written:
There is no one righteous, not even
one. 11 There is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks
God. 12 All have turned away; all alike have become worthless. There
is no one who does what is good, not even one.[f]
13 Their throat is an
open grave; they deceive with their tongues.[g]
Vipers’ venom is under their lips.[h]
When we consider our human side,
all we need to do is look around. Yes, even Spirit-born People go astray. WHEN OUR
HUMAN ANCESTERS SINNED IT REVEALED AN UGLEY NATURE WITHIN EACH OF US THAT MUST
BE BROUGHT UNDER THE TOTAL AUTHORITY OF GOD. EASY TO WRITE OR SAY BUT
APPLICATION IS MOST DIFFICULT.
What is the problem? It is our
old nature! We, even those Spirit-born, love to wear our old clothes. Our old clothes are
very hard to take off and burn. But that is what we must do daily.
As Spirit-born people, we have
fresh new clothes, which have been washed in the blood of the Lamb, JESUS, and
they are whiter than snow.
As we approach the second coming
of JESUS, we who know the truth must be watchful because JESUS is coming again
to rapture all Spirit born people and become world ruler, the true Messiah.
Romans 3:21-26:
The Righteousness of God through
Faith
21 But now, apart from the law, the
righteousness of God has been revealed, attested by the Law and the Prophets.[o]
22 The righteousness of God is through faith in Jesus Christ[p] to all
who believe, since there is no distinction.
23 For all have sinned and fall short of the[q]
glory of God; 24 they are justified freely
by his grace through the redemption that is
in Christ Jesus.
Apart from the law, the righteousness of GOD has been
revealed through HIS only SON, JESUS. JESUS fulfilled the Law in every way.
How do we know that? By the resurrection of JESUS from the
dead.
What did the resurrection do for all who place their faith
in JESUS?
The righteousness of God is
through faith in Jesus Christ[p] to all who believe,
since there is no distinction. 23 For all have sinned and fall
short of the[q] glory of God; 24 they
are justified freely by his grace through
the redemption that is in Christ
Jesus.
Since all have sinned and fall short of perfection, GOD’S
redemptive plan restores all who place their faith in JESUS to being
just-as-if-I-never-sinned status in GOD’S eyes. WOW!!!
And guess what? All anyone must do is to ask JESUS to
forgive him/her for his/her sins and believe that JESUS paid for his/her sin,
in full.
Blessings!!!

“Look, the days are coming”—this is the LORD’s declaration— “when I
will raise up a Righteous Branch for David.
