Rhapsody of Realities 13 October 2025: The Righteousness of God in You
SCRIPTURE: And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness (Ephesians 4:24).
Righteousness is the rightness of God at work in you. It is divinity manifested in you. It is the unveiling of the Father’s heart, His life and love at work in you. Living right is the outworking of the righteousness of God in you. He is righteousness, and He is your righteousness. He gave you the righteousness of Jesus Christ: “…of Him are ye in Christ Jesus who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification and redemption” (1 Corinthians 1:30).
This is what gives you right standing with Him. Being born again, you’re in the presence of the Father without guilt, condemnation, or inferiority. We’re bold and confident before Him. We live in harmony with the Father, walking in the light of His Word. We know Him, and He knows us; we’ve become one with Him: “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:1). “But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit” (1 Corinthians 6:17).
Righteousness is your life now; it’s your nature. You’ve received abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness: “For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ” (Romans 5:17). Now you can walk in Him, justified and at peace with God.

PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for giving me your own righteousness: the ability to live right, think right, and live in your perfect will. I walk in the consciousness of my oneness with you, without guilt or condemnation. Your life and love are at work in me, producing fruits of righteousness. I reign in life through Jesus Christ. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY:
Romans 5:17
17 For if because of one man’s trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God’s] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
2 Corinthians 5:21
21 For our sake He made Christ [virtually] to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in and through Him we might become [[a]endued with, viewed as being in, and examples of] the righteousness of God [what we ought to be, approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His goodness].
Philippians 3:7-9
7 But whatever former things I had that might have been gains to me, I have come to consider as [[one combined] loss for Christ’s sake.
8 Yes, furthermore, I count everything as loss compared to the possession of the priceless privilege (the overwhelming preciousness, the surpassing worth, and supreme advantage) of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord and of progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him [of perceiving and recognizing and understanding Him more fully and clearly]. For His sake I have lost everything and consider it all to be mere rubbish (refuse, dregs), in order that I may win (gain) Christ (the Anointed One),
9 And that I may [actually] be found and known as in Him, not having any [self-achieved] righteousness that can be called my own, based on my obedience to the Law’s demands (ritualistic uprightness and supposed right standing with God thus acquired), but possessing that [genuine righteousness] which comes through faith in Christ (the Anointed One), the [truly] right standing with God, which comes from God by [saving] faith.
