The key to every blessing of God is found in the Gospel. The key is the righteousness of God which we receive when we receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior. In Paul’s letter to the Roman’s we see that the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith through the Gospel. Every day of our lives we can appropriate this righteousness (right-standing with God) and all the blessings that come with it by faith. Enjoy!

Notes: THE KEY TO EVERY BLESSING

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. For it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith. As it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” (Romans 1:16-17, MEV)

RIGHTEOUSNESS IS REVEALED THROUGH THE GOSPEL

When Jesus died on the cross, He took all our sins. When He rose again, He gave us His righteousness. Our part is to receive what He did by faith. Even though we don’t deserve it, we are given a robe of righteousness like the Prodigal Son. 2 Cor. 5:21

But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets. This righteousness of God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all and upon all who believe, for there is no distinction. For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, (Romans 3:21-23, MEV)

III. RIGHTEOUSNESS IS REVEALED PROGRESSIVELY IN OUR LIVES

from faith to faith…… the just shall live by their faith. this is not something for our initial salvation experienced and then left behind. No we live by faith in the son of God who loved us and gave Himself for us. Gal 2:20

As you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, (Colossians 2:6, MEV)

How did you receive Christ Jesus? By faith. How do you walk in Him? By faith.

We are not saved by faith and a work of the Holy Spirit and then left to serve God in the strength of our flesh. No. We continue to believe God for righteousness to be revealed from faiith to faith. For each new season of our lives, we need a new level of faith. He is progressively making as more like Jesus.

He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? (Romans 8:32, MEV)

that if you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved, for with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:9-10, MEV)

CONCLUSION: God has give you a great gift through the cross and resurrection of Christ. Receive Jesus as Lord and walk in all that He has for you in Christ.
