The Righteousness Of Faith Speaks
Let
me say something about faith. You cannot have faith without speaking it. When
you study Romans 10, you will notice that it says that “the righteousness which
is of the law...does...But the righteousness of faith speaks.” The law is about
doing, whereas faith is about speaking. It is not enough to just know in your
mind that you are righteous. You need to open your mouth and say by faith, “I
am the righteousness of God in Christ.”
Paul
said, “And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is
written, ‘I believed and therefore I spoke,’ we also believe and therefore
speak” (2 Corinthians 4:13). The spirit of faith is clearly about believing and
speaking. So it does not matter how many sermons or books on righteousness you
have heard and read. You need to believe it and speak it.
Confessing
your righteousness in Christ keeps you conscious of Jesus. Every time you speak
it, you magnify His finished work on the cross. So believe and speak the truth:
“I am the righteousness of God in Christ.” The more you believe it and speak
it, the more you will walk in the blessings of the righteous!
