Righteousness

When you yield yourself to Christ, He initiates the process of making you to become special to God; and God looks at you as one that He can use.

The mystery of the Christian life is that what the Lord Jesus Christ is becomes yours when you trust Him as your savior. You take on by faith, His life.

To risk the situation on God, to do God’s will no matter what, and to leave the outcome with him. That’s faith.

With the knowledge of God we have all things: righteousness, sanctification and redemption. We have everything we need to live a godly life.

You’re not required to be smart or to be different — all you have to do is be real with God and be faithful in sharing your Savior with others.

We are compared to sheep who wander off. Jesus is shown as the shepherd who goes after us and brings us back. He supplies every aspect of our needs as we let him care for us.

Jesus death freed us from sin, the law and death. Give over the areas you still have trouble surrendering.

Don’t use your freedom to sin, but to glorify God. Turn habits over to God by faith and use your freedom to serve others.

Review of key points in 1 Peter: feed on the Word of God, living as strangers in a foreign land is how we are to be living in the world.

To feed on God’s Word means you read, meditate, memorize, pray and do it. As a living stone God has a divine purpose for your life despite what the circumstances. We are a royal priesthood.
