THE RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF FAITH PRINCIPLE !

THE RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF FAITH PRINCIPLE ! The promise was to Abraham and his seed, but it was not through the Law of Moses, but through the righteousness which is of faith. And Jesus Christ is our righteousness ! Notice this promise was to come to pass through the righteousness of faith. Let's look at (Romans 10:6). Look closely at what the apostle Paul says about the righteousness which is of faith. First, Paul is telling us what the righteousness which is of faith would not say. "But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, say not in thine heart, who shall ascend into heaven ? (That is, to bring Christ down from above:) Or, who shall descend into the deep ? (That is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what saith it. . ." (Romans 10:6-8). Sometimes it helps to find out what something is not in order to understand what it is. The apostle Paul said the righteousness which is of faith would not say, "who is going to reverse the process of death ? Who is going to bring Jesus back from heaven so that He may come to us and heal us and do things for us again as He did in the days when He walked the earth ?" The righteousness which is of faith would not say it that way. I know you're thinking, "Well, I wouldn't say that." But if you have said, "Lord, come down and touch me," then that is what you have said. (Hebrews 10:12-13) tells us that Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father until His enemies are made His footstool. Jesus is there in His physical body. And He is not coming back until His enemies are made His footstool. But He has sent His word to heal you. "He sent his word, and heal them, and delivered them from their destruction." (Psalms 107:20). What this is saying is that God the Father has sent Jesus Christ who is the word made flesh and heal them and delivered them from their destruction. The Word of God is capable of being God over every area of your life, if you would dare get the word of God in your mouth and in your heart then it will produce the harvest that you desire ! Then the Scriptures reveal more insight in the book of John. "In The Beginning Was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. . . All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. . . And the Word was made flesh (took upon itself flesh), and what among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." (John 1:1 through 14).
