Bible Verse of the Day

Category: Righteousness

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 3-31-26

    Romans 10:3 (NKJV) 3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.

    We cannot earn salvation through our own actions. It has to be through God’s righteousness which comes through having faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.

    His righteousness is His way of justifying sinners. It is a gift to all mankind. It’s His Answer!

    We cannot be declared righteous by following the law, doing good deeds, etc., no matter how hard we try.

    It comes through faith, as we humbly surrender ourselves to Jesus Christ. Through the blood of Christ, His righteousness covers all our sins and sets us free…Praise be to God!

    Romans 1:17 (NKJV) 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”

    In the book of Habakkuk, God saw the Babylonians as a proud people. But those who relied on Him for their life were considered upright and called “the just”.

    Habakkuk 2:4 (NKJV) 4 “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith.

    It’s by faith in Christ that we are made upright or just.

    This is hard for some people to accept. And some will never leave it at that. They will work hard and try to do everything just right, but not accept what Christ did for us on the cross.

    This is prideful in and of itself.

    It takes a humble heart and being aware of the fact that there is no other way but through the blood of Jesus for a lost soul to be redeemed.

    If we cannot reach that place within our heart, we are no more saved than the unbeliever.

    Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV) 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

    Submit to the righteousness of God. We don’t work for it. We put our faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.

    Romans 10:4 (NKJV) 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

    Amen.

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 12-23-24

    Romans 3:10 (NKJV) 10 As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one;

    We serve a mighty God who loves us more than we will ever know or understand.

    And because He loves us, He made a way for us to be righteous in His sight, despite our shortcomings and failures; the sin that perpetually separates us from Him.

    Many people believe that righteous acts, good behavior, will make us righteous in the eyes of God.

    Still others see religious traditions and rituals as their way of pleasing God and making themselves acceptable in His sight.

    The religious leaders of Jesus’ time believed this.

    They held themselves above the “common people” due to their piety, their eloquent speech, and their religious garb. They were forever looking down their noses at those around them.

    Jesus knew this. He addressed them directly for it, and they became furious with Him for it.

    Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the prophet Isaiah spoke centuries before the birth of Christ, declaring that our own righteous acts were worthless before God; like filthy rags.

    Bible historians agree that the rags Isaiah was alluding to were women’s menstrual cloths, indicating a state of being ritually unclean according to The Law.

    Isaiah 64:6 (NKJV) 6 But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; We all fade as a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, Have taken us away.

    With all of that said, it is important for us to understand that our righteousness is found solely in Christ.

    2 Corinthians 5:21 (NKJV) 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

    Being a good person will not make us righteous before God. Kindness will not make us righteous before God. Abstaining from sin will not make us righteous before God.

    In short, changing our behavior does not make us righteous. But righteousness in Christ should change our behavior.

    Let us put away the rituals and traditions that define us and our walk with God. And let us understand that it is only the blood of Christ applied to us that make us righteous in His eyes.

    Amen

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 8-10-22

    Romans 12:1 (NKJV) 1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

    Living holy lives is a very important part of our walk with God.

    Many may think that because we live under God’s grace, there is no need for holy, righteous living. This could not be further from the truth.

    Others may even say that because Jesus was so loving and kind, and because He spent time hanging out with sinners, we don’t need to worry about holy living.

    Again, this is not truth.

    Take note than when Jesus spent time with sinners, He spoke truth to them, encouraging them to get their hearts right with God.

    In John 8:11, when He spoke with the woman caught in adultery, He told her to “go and sin no more”.

    Some of the original texts actually said, “go, and from now on, sin no more”.

    And if we compare various translations, many of them indicate that Jesus was inferring that she needed to leave her life of sin.

    So, He made it clear to her that she needed to leave her sin behind and do what is right in God’s eyes.

    And this applies to us as well.

    Paul used the word, beseech. That’s a very strong word, meaning to plead, to implore, to ask urgently, or to beg.

    Based on that, it’s evident that Paul wanted badly for the Roman Christians to leave their lives of sin behind.

    Paul was referring here mainly to sexual sins, since Rome was well-known for this. But we need to apply this to every aspect of our lives.

    And I like what Paul said about our lives; presenting them as living sacrifices. In other words, we need to give our bodies to God. Dedicate them to Him.

    Doing this will cause us to take the choices we make much more seriously, since we are now living as though we do not belong to ourselves, but to Him.

    1 Corinthians 6:20 (NKJV) 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

    We have been bought. We are not our own. Let’s be careful to live like we are His.

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 12-2-21

    Part 2

    1 Peter 3:18 (NKJV) 18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit…

    Yesterday we discussed the fact that Jesus dying once, for all of us, eliminated the need for constant sacrifices to atone for our sins. His death covered them all, for eternity.

    Today, let’s see what else we can learn from this powerful verse.

    Immediately after telling us that Christ suffered (died) once for our sins, we are told that His life, which was just (pure), was given for us, the unjust (the impure).

    This is much deeper than our human minds can truly grasp.

    Yes, we may get the concept of it. But we will never be able to truly understand it in its deepest depths.

    Our sins make us filthy before God. He cannot even look upon us because of those sins.

    The prophet Isaiah said (in Isaiah 64:6) that “all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags”.

    In other words, there is absolutely no righteous act that we can perform that will remove the stain of our sins. Not even a perpetually righteous lifestyle can make us clean before God.

    With Christ, however, because He traded Himself (the just) for us (the unjust), we are given the opportunity to be made clean (righteous) by simply embracing Him (putting our faith in Him).

    The moment we do that, we become clean in God’s sight. We are made whole and pure, with the stains of our sins washed away; gone forever.

    Think about that; the just for the unjust.

    Again, this is more than our minds can truly comprehend.

    Let’s ponder on this for a while, and then we can talk more about it tomorrow.

    Stay tuned…

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 11-28-21 – Blameless

    Please click to watch the video now.Greetings, brothers and sisters in Christ! 

    Job was a man who went through some pretty difficult trials, despite living a righteous life and being called an upright man by God Himself. 

    There are so many lessons we can learn from the book of Job and the things that he faced. 

    In our newest video, Blameless, we teach on a couple of those things, dealing specifically with righteousness through Christ vs. living a righteous lifestyle, and how they vastly different from each other. 

    We think you’ll enjoy it, so we hope you’ll give it a watch.

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 2-19-18

    Romans 4:5 (NKJV) 5 But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness…

    Our good works do not make us righteous in God’s eyes. It doesn’t happen that way.

    Some types of religious organizations may promote good works as a way to obtain righteousness. But, righteousness in God’s eyes comes through having faith and believing in who Jesus says He is, and what He did for each one of us.

    When we give our life over and surrender it up to Him, that faith that we have in Him is accounted for righteousness.

    This is all made possible by the blood of Christ. His shed blood washed away our sins and made it possible for God to look upon us as righteous and cleansed; spotless.

    We can’t get this by our good works or good deeds. It’s by faith and faith alone.

    Do we believe on Him, Jesus Christ, who justifies the ungodly? Do we trust Him as our Redeemer, Healer and Provider? If so, then our faith is accounted for righteousness!

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 10-27-16

    2 Corinthians 5:21 (NKJV) 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

    We become the righteousness of God in Him.

    That’s a pretty heavy statement. It embodies a lot more than the words on a page can even begin to imply. Let’s take a closer look.

    First, what is righteousness? What does it mean to be righteous?

    Webster’s dictionary defines it this way:

    righteous: acting in accord with divine or moral law: free from guilt or sin

    Take note of the last part of that definition, free from guilt or sin. Now that’s a big deal right there.

    Neither you nor I can ever be free from guilt or sin on our own power or by our own will. It’s impossible. But, by the blood of Jesus, we are made righteous when we put our faith in Him.

    It’s so very simple, yet so very complicated at the same time. And though our heads can grasp it (a little), we will never be able to fully understand or comprehend it. Despite that, though, just know that through the obedience and sacrifice of Jesus, a way was made for us to be washed clean from our sins.

    How? By putting our faith in that very One, Jesus, and the gift that He offers us: Salvation.

    So know that no matter who you are or what you might have done in your past, if you have put your faith and trust in Jesus and the sacrifice that He made, you have been made righteous in Him.

    By the blood of Jesus, you are pure and spotless in God’s eyes!

    Romans 5:19 (NKJV) 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 6-23-15

    Romans 3:9-10 (NKJV) 9 What then? Are we better than they? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin. 10 As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one;

    There isn’t a single one of us who has anything to offer God.

    We are all impure, stained by our sin and guilty of more than we could ever even hope to repay or compensate for by our own righteousness.

    Our righteous acts, apart from Christ, are nothing. They are like dust that blows in the wind and disappears, leaving nothing behind but traces of dirt.

    Isaiah 64:6 (NKJV) 6 But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags;

    But get this; God loved us so much that He overlooked our sinful state and created a way for us to have fellowship with Him!

    Through the blood of Jesus, God sees as us fit to come before Him and talk to Him, fellowship with Him and make our requests known to Him.

    The holiness of God and the desperately-fallen state of man are two things that our minds can never fully comprehend. We can see bits of pieces of how badly the human race has fallen, but we will never truly understand the depth of it.

    We can see glimpses and bits & pieces of God’s holiness, but we will never be able to truly grasp His holiness.

    In our fallen state, we could not stand in His presence. It would be literally impossible for us to do so and live.

    But through the blood of Jesus, we can approach Him boldly, without fear, and not worry about losing our life because of it.

    Thank you, Father, for your provision and your grace over our lives!

    Let’s thank Him today for making a way for us, bridging the gap between us and Him, removing the barriers of sin, through Jesus, once and for all.

    He is worthy to be praised and adored!
