A righteousness consciousness
Hebrews 10:2-3 – ASV
Else would they not have ceased to be offered? Because the worshippers, having been once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins. But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance made of sins year by year.
Our opening verses brings to mind the atonement for sins made once every year for the people of Israel – the church of the old testament – about how that perfection could never come to them by the levitical priesthood etiquettes; because if it could, then would the members of that antique church had have no more consciousness of sins.
Always, the problem is a sin consciousness. It is the reason people commit sin and do a whole lot of nasty stuffs. Sin consciousness will take a man to hell even if he didn’t tell a lie. But thanks be unto God for the bible says about God that he made Jesus, not bulls and goats, to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we could be made the righteousness of God in him (2 Cor. 5:21).
Train yourself to have a righteousness consciousness. The more righteousness conscious you are, the bolder you become; that’s the mentality that makes you a master in a Satan ruled world. You become a master over sin, fear, sickness, disease and death just as Paul gives it to us that sin shall have no dominion over you.
This is something you have in Christ. In romans 4:25, he says about Jesus that he was offered for our sins and was raised again for our guilt-freeness. From the day you became born again, you cease to be guilty. Yeah! That’s what Justification means – to be declared righteous. Get to become more and more conscious of your righteousness in Christ.
PRAYER
Father I thank you in the name of Jesus Christ, for he was delivered for my offences and was raised again for my justification. I affirm that I am not under the sway of sin, weakness, fear and death, but of righteousness, strength, peace and life forever more. Amen.
