Declared Righteous!

Justified by what You've done at Calvary
Now living in the Righteousness secured for me.
For when You died and rose again
You conquered death and defeated sin!

Day after day You never change
Your power to save
Strength to sustain
And we praise
Yes we praise Your name!


By one man's disobedience, all were made sinners, dead in their trespasses and sins.
But by one Man's obedience, all are made alive and righteous.

How wonderful is that!

Jesus, my only hope
My only plea
My Rigtheousness, my Great High Priest
Who intercedes for me
Before the throne
Jesus, I trust in You alone!


Jesus, help me to live in light of that truth. Help me to remember that no matter what my feelings are, the truth of Your gospel surpasses whatever I feel!

Yes, it is true, we are "declared" righteous. However, it is very
detrimental to our personal relationship with the Lord to realize it is only because we are covered with the blood of HIS SON.....through His obedience and sacrifice that we stand declared righteous before the Father. We need to live humbly under that blood every hour of our lives and focus on HIM and not ourselves and the desires of our hearts. When we focus on trivial matters and begin to live flippantly under that blood, we are treading without wisdom on Holy ground. It is easy to start living "in His name" but
with no thought to "His blood that covers"..........SO, we are declared righteous in HIS NAME, but
under His blood. Never forget that.
