2 Reigning in life in righteousness through Jesus Brendan Mc Crossan
3 Reigning in life in righteousness through Jesus Brendan Mc Crossan One Called to reign in this life that we live now! The Christian children of God were chosen to reign in life as Kings in righteousness through Jesus Christ. In righteousness there is a rich amount of buried treasure hidden away until now when God is revealing what righteousness really is and what it means for the children of God and why it is vital to the Christians believers. Also how wide and how high and how varied is righteousness that in nothing is the believer to walk in except righteousness. Let s take the following scripture a little bit at a time to study it in its fullness. Romans Nor is the free gift at all to be compared to the effect of that one [man's] sin. For the sentence [following the trespass] of one [man] brought condemnation, whereas the free gift [following] many transgressions brings justification (an act of righteousness). The first thing that we should notice in this scripture is that there is a free gift available. Wow! I love free gifts, especially ones from God. This free gift from God through Jesus comes bringing with it Justification, an act of righteousness. Remember for future references that the free gift come from God, and it came even after you committed many acts of transgression. *{Transgression means wrongdoing, misbehaviour, disobedience, sin, and misdemeanour.}* You were given this free gift even after you sinned, committed many wrongdoings, disobedience to God, bad behaviour, and still the free gift was given to you, even after all the wrong things you done. Even when you grievously sinned, you still got this free gift, the act of righteousness. Righteousness is that wonderful free gift you got first from God even thought you were the worst in the litter box. *{when you see where I highlighted some words in different colours, that s because they are important, I m sure you gathered that.}* 17 For if because of one man's trespass (lapse, sin, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God's] overflowing grace (unmerited favour) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). Adam sinned in the Garden of Eden along with Eve, and he is the one man mentioned here in But much more surely will those who receive God s overflowing grace, his unmerited favour, in other words they didn t deserve his favour. Those who receive God s overflowing grace and the free gift of righteousness; {there s that free gift mentioned again, that Gift that put us into right standing with God himself;} then he continues on to say will reign as Kings in life, through Jesus Christ, not through yourself but through Jesus Christ.
4 Do you seriously mean that I am supposed to reign in this life, this lousy life that I am leading right now as if I were a King? Yes my friend this lousy life as you would call it, is the life you were chosen to lead, not as a lousy life but as a life filled with victory, joy and peace and living in power, God s power. Jesus won every victory for you in this lousy life he defeated your greatest enemy bringing him down to nothing and giving you power and authority over him in this lousy life, this awesome life you should be saying, this life is awesome because I am living it as a king of life, are you? You re supposed to be leading a victorious happy life through Jesus and this is the secret s to a joy filled life letting Jesus letting Jesus lead you in victory, through his free gift to you. You are supposed to live like King Arthur lived or other kings, like the king of Saudi Arabia, but not with the cruelty or dictatorship that other kings rule by. If you want to see how a good king lives read the books of Kings 1and 2, and see for yourself how good kings done awesome things and bad kings perished; read and learn from their mistakes. But you are to live and act through Jesus not through your wants and desires; you are to live as kings through Jesus as a victorious king and loving others and helping others, and telling others about the love of God given to you and them through Jesus. 18 Well then, as one man's trespass [one man's false step and falling away led] to condemnation for all men, so one Man's act of righteousness [leads] to acquittal and right standing with God and life for all men. Because that one man, Adam sinned, {trespassed} he was leading us away from God, then one man Jesus came and saved us bringing us back to him again, and it was his first act of righteousness that brought us to acquittal and right standing with God,{righteousness} 19 For just as by one man's disobedience (failing to hear, heedlessness, and carelessness) the many were constituted sinners, so by one Man's obedience the many will be constituted righteous (made acceptable to God, brought into right standing with Him). Because Adam sinned we were separated from God and declared sinners, everyone on the planet from then on after Adam were called sinners; but because Jesus obeyed God, even going to death for us, he redeemed us as sinners because sinners are going to hell, he changed us from sinners into righteous people we were constituted righteous. We have a chosen mission in this life and that is to act as kings in life in righteousness, through Jesus; you were made righteous so that you could reign in life through Jesus in righteousness. Come on you were created to reign in this lousy life making it a great life for you and your family and fellow Christians. 21 So that, [just] as sin has reigned in death, [so] grace (His unearned and undeserved favour) might reign also through righteousness (right standing with God) which issues in eternal life through Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) our Lord. {Amplified Bible} God has chosen through grace, his undeserved favour that we will reign in righteousness showing forth the glory of God s work in us in this life.
5 Two Because as he is so are we in this world. 1-John In this [union and communion with Him] love is brought to completion and attains perfection with us, that we may have confidence for the Day of Judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him], because as He is, so are we in this world. This is how you reign in righteousness through Christ Jesus; it is because, as he is, so are you. Is he righteous? So are you. Is he holy? So are you. Is he perfect? So are you. Is he a son of God? So are you {daughter}. Does he reign on this earth? NO! You reign on earth as one with him in spirit. Jesus is seated in heaven having completed all his work, resting, watching you finish up the command he gave you in Mark 16. You are to walk in this earth in this life as kings, reigning as kings in this life because you now have his life in you and have become one with him in spirit. You are supposed to demonstrate the victory of Christ Jesus who is one with you in spirit. He finished his work, yours just begun when you became a Christian. You are now supposed to demonstrate that you are a king in this life and belonging to heaven, and demonstrate the devils defeat by Jesus, this is your work not Jesus work. It may surprise and shock you to know that Jesus does not heal people anymore. He himself took their sickness and diseases on his body on the cross on Calvary, they are already healed, he can t come and do something he already done. He won t heal people no matter how much you may ask, unless your prayer is one of faith then sickness will leave the one you are praying for because of your faith. Your prayer, not Jesus, is healing them from the deceit of sickness and disease. Or his name is freeing them from disease that name of Jesus spoken in faith releases them from Satan s grip, and this works for all of us, and is the work we have been given to do because we reign in life as Kings of life. I Peter He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed. {NIV Bible} You can see this scripture for yourself and see you have already been healed from sickness and disease. Every Christian has been commissioned to go preach the gospel, lay hands on the sick and heal them. It is you healing them or better still it is your commission to release them from Satan s control, he can still put sickness and disease on people. You are to reign in life and that is reign in your life, releasing people from Satan s diseases, demonstrating his defeat. Scripture said you go into the world, {not Jesus} you preach the gospel, {Jesus did it while alive in his body} you lay hands on the sick and you heal them. Jesus laid hands on the sick while alive and healed them, then he sent his apostles out to do the same, then he told you and me to go and do the same as he did. You are to reign in righteousness in life as a king through Christ overthrowing Satan in every battle showing forth the authority Jesus gave you and because he Jesus is in you as one in spirit, you are to throw him out of every situation that you go through, you not Jesus are to kick him out, you have been given all authority in this life that you are reigning in. Mark He said to them, Go into the entire world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name
6 they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well. Who is to lay their hands on sick people? You are to lay your hands on sick people, because you are in righteousness, Right standing with God at all times, not some times but at all times, even when you sin and repent, you are always in righteousness even when you sin, because if you backtrack in this book to the beginning you will see the scripture that says he gave you righteousness even while you trespassed against him. Romans For just as by one man's disobedience (failing to hear, heedlessness, and carelessness) the many were constituted sinners, so by one Man's obedience the many will be constituted righteous (made acceptable to God, brought into right standing with Him). While you were sinners he made you righteous by his act of kindness and constituted righteous; made acceptable to God. You are the one people are looking towards for help in this life and you are the one who can help them in this life you are the one reigning in this life through Jesus Christ in righteousness and don t let the devil tell you any different. Below are some other scripture that show you, that you are to reign in this life through Jesus. It is his entire plan and purposes not yours so there is nothing for you to boast about. Three Reigning in life as kings forever, throughout eternity Revelation 22:5 Amplified-Bible And there shall be no more night; they have no need for lamplight or sunlight, for the Lord God will illuminate them and be their light, and they shall reign [as kings] forever and ever (through the eternities of the eternities). I didn t want to write that at the beginning because I was afraid that you would find it hard to believe that you are to reign as kings forever, even into eternity, what a joyous thought. Remember Jesus is the king of kings, and he says you are a king. Revelation 5:10 Amplified-Bible and You have made them a kingdom (royal race) and priests to our God, and they shall reign [as kings] over the earth! We Christians are kings of life and righteous but we are even more! We are kings of life and we are a Royal Race, a Royal priesthood is what we are through righteousness, a gift from
7 God. Remember that we were given free gifts this is more of the gifts, to reign in life through righteousness and to be a Royal race and a Royal priesthood to God. We are to reign in life in righteousness and bring much glory to God in our reign and may your reign be a long and blessed reign What a God we serve. Amen
