Weekly Pursuit – Week 4 of February
Verses:
2 Cor. 5:21 “Him who did not know sin He made sin on our behalf that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”
Excerpts:
As a result of experiencing the Spirit living and working within us, we become righteous. Spontaneously, our inner being is transparent, crystal clear, and we know the heart of God. Immediately, without effort, we know the mind of the Lord and have a clear understanding concerning His will and work. Then what we do is according to the Lord’s mind and will. This is righteousness.
Many Christians have the concept that when we do something wrong, we are not right with God. This is concept of righteousness is too superficial. Even when we do not do anything wrong we still may not be right with God. As long as we are not doing God’s will, we are not right. Instead we are wasting our lives and everything the Lord has given us.
If you are infused and saturated by the life-giving Spirit, your inner being will become transparent. Then you will know what is in the Lord’s mind. You will also understand what the will of the Lord is. Spontaneously, you will be in His will and do His will. As a result, you become right with Him. Moreover, you will realize how you should act toward others and even how you should deal with your material possessions. Then you will become a righteous person, one who is right in small things as well as in great things, one who is right with God, with others, and with himself. This is a person who expresses God, for his righteousness is the image of God, God expressed. ( Lifestudy of 2 Corinthians, msg. 27)
