Some Ways That Righteousness is Used

SOME WAYS THAT RIGHTEOUSNESS IS USED

2 Cor. 6:7-8, we read “In the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, by glory and dishonor, by evil report and good report;” Righteousness is an armor in the presence of the most terrific onslaught.
Satan’s arrows cannot pierce through the armor of Righteousness. We are the wearers of Righteousness. Eph. 6:14, “Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness.”
How do we put on Righteousness? By confession. We confess that He is our Righteousness. We live our confession. We fearlessly face the forces of darkness with the consciousness that no arrow can pierce the breast-plate of Righteousness.

2 Tim. 4:8, “Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give to me at that day; and not to me only, but also to all them that have loved his appearing.” This crown goes to the believer who has wrought in Righteousness for the Master.

If we walk in this new Righteousness sense, and do as John tells us in I John 2:29, we become “doers of Righteousness.” “If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one also that doeth righteousness is begotten of him.” We can do the works of Righteousness. What does it mean? A fearless prayer life. A fearless giving. A fearless testimony. A fearless acting on the Word, laying hands on the sick, casting out demons.
We know that as He is, so are we in this world. We know that His Righteousness has made us Righteous. It gives us access to His very throne.
