For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith, as it is written, "The just shall live by faith." Rom 1:16-17. nkjv. While studying this scripture this one word, righteousness, called to me to look deeper. The Greek meaning (dikaiosune) is to do justice,make just, That God declares the believer righteous in the sense of acquitting him, imparting righteousness to him. I believe that through Christ we get to put on this garment of righteousness as we apply the blood of Christ in all the areas of our life. The key of communion is an important way to keep this activated! But looking in the Hebrew translation, where we all must go to get the true meaning of what the bible is saying, this word "righteous" translates (tsadaq) to be righteous, a pronouncement of innocence. Deeper still we find the word tsadaqah which translates righteousness revealed, which is generosity. When we as the "church" start demonstrating this righteousness, "tsadaqah" the world Will see that we really do have the answer, Jesus Christ!!! Who has been so generous with us. Oh by the way, we get a crown to cast at His feet in the process! 2Timothy 4:8
IN WHOM WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, EVEN THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS. COLOSSIANS 1:14... Did you know that the blood of a baby in the womb never comes in contact with the mother and that it is contributed by the male seed, not by the female egg? This was a divine plan of God when He designed men & women. God knew He would need to send a Savior into the world to redeem them!!! We all need a SAVIOR and only the blood of Jesus can cleanse us and make us white as snow!!! Redeem means to pay a price to ransom someone. Our redemption could only be bought with the perfect, pure blood of Jesus. The blood of Jesus came from the Holy Spirit when He overshadowed Mary, therefore the blood of Jesus was completely pure. His blood was the only blood that could pay for our sins because it came directly from God and was never contaminated with sin. It was the perfect payment and sacrifice for our forgiveness!!!The blood of Christ is still cleansing and washing us today as much as it did two t
