He is our Righteousness

6/19/2013

 
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah. In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of Righteousness to grow up unto David; and He shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness. (Jeremiah 33:14-16)

When our Lord returns and sets up His millennial Kingdom, Jerusalem shall be called by His Name, Jehovah.  Our only righteousness is the righteousness we have in Christ, for all ours is as filthy rags.  In His first appearance He came unto His own, the Jews as the Branch of David, the Messiah and even after His peaceful entry into the city as a servant King, they rejected Him.  In His second appearance the whole world will see Him, and He will come as Israel's Saviour and King.  With His throne established in Jerusalem, she will once again embody the provision of peace.

For GOD sent His Son to be the sacrifice for the sIn of the world.  And those of us who have received Him and are born again, have a new life of discipleship that is everlasting and a new righteousness in Christ that is eternal.  Each of us had to see ourselves as GOD saw us, and repent, that is turn away from our sIn, and to GOD.  GOD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all, but we had to receive that free gift for ourselves once we came to understand it and believe.

If you don't yet know GOD, He loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal.  He is not willing that you should perish, but wants you to come to the knowledge of the truth.  The truth as described in this passage, that He is GOD, that He is our only righteousness, and without Him we are men most miserable.  Believe His Word, and receive Him today.

Live in the righteousness that comes from our Lord,

In Christ,
Jefferson Sweet
