24/7 DOXA Content, 28th April-RIGHTEOUS LIVING
____________________________________
FOCAL TEXT: Titus 2 vs 12
_►► “Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, ”~》NKJV》
________________________________________
BLESSED greetings, Cherished one. There is so much relevance in the word of God for anyone who will give much reverence to it. Yesterday, we learned that the salvation grace trains us to live soberly. Today, our focal text unveils that this same grace teaches us to live righteously whiles denying ungodliness and worldly lusts. *Note that there is a difference between righteousness and righteous living.*
They are not the same in that righteousness is a gift you receive from God when you believe in Jesus Christ; Romans 5:17 says when you become born again, you receive abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness which causes you to reign with Christ. Henceforth, righteousness is a gift but righteous living is not a gift. However, Receiving God’s kind of righteousness empowers you for right living. Right living involves keeping divine commands.
It involves constantly yielding your members to God as instruments of righteousness (Romans 6:13). It is right living that helps unbelievers to know that “something good” has really taken place within our spirits. It is living in conformity to what God loves and hates. Right living is your conscious gracious effort to bring out what the gift of righteousness has influenced within you. So live righteously. The rich grace of our Lord Jesus Christ abounds towards you always.
