What His death accomplished.

“But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.”
Hebrews 2:9

Our opening scripture shows you that Jesus tasted death for every man; that includes you. This means that when Jesus died on the cross, He took your place. The Bible says in Romans 6:23, “For the wages of sin is death …” So when Jesus became sin for you on the cross and took your place, He died your death.

2 Corinthians 5:21 says, “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” Therefore, in Christ you are righteous. He became your sin sacrifice that you might be made the righteousness of God in Him.

If you are in Christ you are righteous. Now that you are righteous, it is important for you to know why He made you righteous. Proverbs 10:2 says, “Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.” Now that you are righteous according to the scripture, death no longer has dominion over you.

Proverbs 12:28(AMP) says, “Life is in the way of righteousness (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation), and in its pathway there is no death but immortality (perpetual, eternal life).” The realm of righteousness is the realm of eternal life and immortality.

Confession.
In the Name of Jesus, I declare according to Romans 5:17, that I have received abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness, therefore I reign in life by Jesus Christ. I reign over death and I live in the realm of immortality and life. Amen.

For further study, read:
Proverbs 11:19, Proverbs 21:21, Romans 5:21.

Doing the Word
Live your life as the righteousness of God in Christ.
