In this episode of The Journey Podcast, we dive into the transformative truth of Righteousness and how right living flows from right standing. As believers, we don’t strive to become righteous; we live right because we’ve already been made righteous through our faith in the Lorship of Christ. Through Scriptures like Romans 5:1, 2 Corinthians 5:21, and Philippians 3:9, we’ll unpack how Jesus’ death and resurrection secured our justification, while passages like Romans 6:11, Titus 2:11-12, and 1 John 3:7 reveal how obedience to the Holy Spirit leads us into sanctification—daily becoming more like Him.Key Scripture Highlights:2 Corinthians 5:21 declares, "God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God." This is the foundation: We are made right before we live right.Philippians 3:9 emphasizes that our righteousness comes "not from the law, but through faith in Christ." It’s a gift, not a reward.Romans 6:11 commands, "Count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus." Justification leads to sanctification—a life of surrendered obedience.We’ll Discuss:The Gift of Right Standing (Justification): How faith in Jesus instantly declares us righteous, apart from works.The Process of Right Living (Sanctification): How the Holy Spirit transforms us as we obey His leading.The Tension and Triumph: Why we still struggle with sin—and how our identity in Christ empowers victory.Practical Righteousness: What it looks like to "put off the old self" and "put on the new" (Ephesians 4:22-24) in everyday life.Closing Challenge:Righteousness isn’t a moral performance, it’s a position that comes from our believe in Jeus and our constant obedience to the leading of the Holy Ghost. So whether you’re wrestling with guilt or longing for greater holiness, this episode will remind you: Your right standing is secure, and your right living is possible only through the transformative power of the Holy Ghost.Tune in and discover how to walk in the freedom of being made right, and the joy of living right.
