Romans 5:19
New King James Version (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.
How you became a Sinner?
- You became a sinner NOT because of your sins
- You became a sinner because of one man’s disobedience : Adam
- Wages of sin is death.
So, How you became Righteous after:
From the above verse “by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous”. Who’s Obedience? JESUS
- By Jesus’s obedience we became righteous.
- Jesus died for us and by believing on HIM we became Righteous, and shall have everlasting life.
- Believing that Jesus died for *all our sins ( *all : past, present and future sins)
- So it’s nothing to do with us to become the Righteousness of God,
- example: seek ye first the Kingdom of God and HIS righteousness
- We are the Righteousness of God in Christ : when we believe on that and on His love towards us, actual sins(missing the mark) will automatically becomes repulsive.
