Jesus said we are to do the works that He did.

He went about teaching, preaching, & healing.

The purpose of teaching, preaching, & healing is to

destroy the works of the devil...or to deliver abundant

life. Teaching, preaching, & healing will not only destroy

the works of the devil but they will also form &

strengthen beliefs in people.

Our Biblical Beliefs System is supposed to govern what

we think, what we say, and what we do.

What we think, what we say and what we do should be

relatively in line with the fruit of the spirit.

● Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,

peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness,

faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control.

● Phil 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are

true, whatever things are noble, whatever things

are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things

are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if

there is any virtue and if there is anything

praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

● Eph 4:29 Let no corrupt word proceed out of your

mouth, but what is good for necessary edification,

that it may impart grace to the hearers.

● James 1:25 But he who looks into the perfect law

of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful

hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be

blessed in what he does.

Matt 13:18 “Therefore hear the parable of the sower:

19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and

does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and

snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he

who received seed by the wayside. 20 But he who

received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears

the word and immediately receives it with joy; 21 yet he

has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For

when tribulation or persecution arises because of the

word, immediately he stumbles. 22 Now he who

received seed among the thorns is he who hears the

word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness

of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. 23

But he who received seed on the good ground is he who

hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears

fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty,

some thirty.”

What does it mean to be righteous?

● Righteousness defined simply means being in right

standing with God. It gives a person the ability to

be free of guilt, condemnation, fear, and

inferiority.

● The ability to stand before God without the sense

of guilt or inferiority. E.W. Kenyon

How does one become righteous?

● Rom 5:17 For if by the one man’s offense death

reigned through the one, much more those who

receive abundance of grace AND of the gift of

righteousness will reign in life through the One,

Jesus Christ.

● 2 Cor 5:21 For He made Him who knew no sin to

be sin for us, that we might become the

righteousness of God in Him.

● 1 Cor 1:30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who

became for us wisdom from God—and

righteousness and sanctification and redemption

● Rom 10:10 For with the heart one believes unto

righteousness, and with the mouth confession is

made unto salvation.

● We are made righteous by grace through faith.

The Bible uses phrases like this...righteousness is

imputed to us, or reckoned to us, or counted to

us.

What does righteousness look like with skin on?

This is what we see when we do not have a foundation

of being made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus

established in our lives.

1. We look in a mirror, and who we see is not who we

want to be.

a. We see faults, sins, and shortcomings

b. We feel inferior, less than, ashamed, guilty

2. We look in a mirror, and see who we are not

a. We are not focused on the bad we have done

but on the good we have not done.

b. We see failure, we see inefficiency, we see

NEVER, we compare ourselves with others,

James 1:23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and

not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in

a mirror; 24 for he observes himself, goes away, and

immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But he

who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues

in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work,

this one will be blessed in what he does.

When we use the Word of God as our “Mirror” we see

what it looks like to be “the righteousness of God in

Christ Jesus”...or you could say it this way “IN CHRIST”

● 1 John 4:4 great is He that is in you than he that is

in the world

● Rom 8:37 in all things, we are more than

conquerors through Him that loved us

● Phil 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which

strengthens me

● Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no

longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life

which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the

Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for

me.

● Eph 1 says In Christ...I have access to every

spiritual blessing, I’ve been chosen, selected,

adopted, I’m holy, without blame, I have

redemption & forgiveness, an abundance of

wisdom, I have an inheritance, and I’ve got a

relationship with His precious Holy Spirit.
