God’s Answer To Man’s Cry – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional April 12th

(Righteousness Revealed Through The Gospel)

TO THE BIBLE: Romans 1:16-17 NIV
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.””

LET’S TALK
Even as a young student, I prioritised preaching the Gospel above all else. Most of my classmates didn’t understand why I spent so much time holding large crusades in which I led many people to Christ and filled them with the Holy Spirit.

What they didn’t realise was that I possessed something the world required: the Gospel, God’s solution to all of man’s problems.

Many have wondered what it means to be righteous before God; and some have thought they’ll find the answer to living righteously from their religious leaders.

However, the righteousness of God is only revealed in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Until one accepts this Gospel, he or she will never know or receive the righteousness of God and be able to live a righteous life.

This righteousness is the rightness of God in the human spirit. It’s the nature of God which gives anyone the ability to stand in the presence of God without condemnation, guilt, fear or inferiority. It’s the ability to stand in fellowship and rightness with God.

This is why we can’t afford to be quiet about the Gospel. It’s God’s answer to man’s cry.

There’s no other way for men to receive salvation, learn and understand the righteousness of God, and come into an extraordinary fellowship and oneness with the Lord outside of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

So, preach the Gospel. Spread the good news of righteousness to everyone in your world, being absolutely convinced that it’s man’s only way to be made right with God.

If you’ve never been born again, now is the time: Confess the Lordship of Jesus over your life, believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead.

Accordingly, the life and nature of God will be imparted to your spirit—with the ability to walk in, and manifest the righteousness of God. Hallelujah!

Pray:
Dear Father, I thank you for your righteousness that’s unveiled through the Gospel, and your grace to save, heal, deliver, uplift, and prosper all those who embrace Christ’s saving power. As the message of salvation gets into men’s hearts today, faith is ignited in them to receive the gift of righteousness, as eternal life is imparted to their spirits, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
