Two Kinds Of RighteousnessSample

Our New Freedom

There has been coming to the hearts of people a new sense of freedom in Christ. It is a new sense of freedom in the Father’s presence. It is the abandonment to love. There has come a new freedom in love, a new freedom in the Word.

For years, we were like a boat landlocked in a narrow lagoon. Now, we are sailing on the bosom of the mighty ocean. There is a new sense of superiority over the circumstances that once terrified us and held us in bondage. It is a consciousness of that tremendous reality: “Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4).

It has given us a new consciousness of superiority over disease and pain. Sickness may have once held us in bondage of fear and dread, but we are no longer afraid of it. It has been conquered. The name of Jesus is greater.

Our relationship with the Father makes us greater. We are sons and daughters of God Almighty. We are partakers of His nature. We are members of His household. We are as near to His heart as Jesus was when He walked the earth.

There has come to us a new sense of oneness with Christ. We are “joint-heirs with Christ” (Romans 8:17). That has become our reality. It is more than the clasp of a hand or an embrace. It is a union. It is an organic oneness. A spiritual harmony flows from it. It is a masterful thing.

As I write these words, it seems to me as though the Master were here, and if I should open my eyes, I would see Him standing before me. I long to throw my arms about His feet and kiss the scars where the nails once held Him to the cross.

My Lord! My wonderful, risen Lord! God and Jesus are speaking out of the Word in a new sense of reality. There is a presence about the Word. It is so beautifully personal. He is speaking to me. It is my Lord asking me to come into conference with Him. He, who was once made sin for me, has made me His righteousness now, and by that wondrous act, He has lifted me from the mud and slime of failure to sit with Him on the throne.

We are what God says we are. Being what we are, we can act for Him. We can take His place here on the earth among men. The new sense of mastery that comes from our relationship with Him lets us into His throne room. We pass by the portals of fear and stand fearless in the presence of our Master and our Lord. From now on, we are under orders from heaven. 

No one has a better righteousness than we have.

No one has a better Savior than we have.

No one has a better eternal life than we have.

No one has a better standing with the Father than we have.

No one has a better right to the use of the name of Jesus than we have.

No one can get closer to the heart of the Father than we can.

We are what He says we are.
