Awake To Righteousness

Awake To Righteousness "Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame." 1 Corinthians 15:34 It is sad to know that so many believers are more sin conscious than Righteousness conscious. Sin consciousness will keep you in perpetual bondage of sin and you will never be free. As long as the devil keeps you in remembrance of your sins, he will keep you in the bondage of sin. The Bible declares that sin shall not have dominion over you because you are not under the law but under grace – Romans 6:14. You are the righteousness of God in Christ- 2 Corinthians 5:21. Now that you have the gift of righteousness and you are meant to reign in life's challenges; you can never reign in the affairs of life as long as you keep seeing yourself under the control of sin. That is why the Apostle John wrote in 1 John 3:9- He that is born of God cannot sin, why? Because you are the righteousness of God and you do not have the seed of sin. Today's text says you must Awake to righteousness and sin not. In other words put on the mentality of righteousness. You must agree that you always have a right standing with God and so, cannot sin. The sin issue was permanently put to rest by righteousness: Righteousness that God gives to you at new birth over rules the power of sin. Receive it today and walk in the consciousness of sin.
