The righteousness of God!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

As the Church! In the name of Jesus we are dare to proclaim:

We are the righteousness of God in Him!

(2 Corinthians 5:1) For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in Heaven.

(2 Corinthians 5:2) For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our dwelling place out of Heaven,

(2 Corinthians 5:3) if indeed, being clothed, we shall not be found naked.

(2 Corinthians 5:4) For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life.

(2 Corinthians 5:5) Now He who has fashioned us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the earnest of the Spirit.

(2 Corinthians 5:6) So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord.

(2 Corinthians 5:7) For we walk by faith, not by sight.

(2 Corinthians 5:8) We are confident, yes, preferring rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

(2 Corinthians 5:9) Therefore we strive, whether at home or away, to be well pleasing to Him.

(2 Corinthians 5:10) For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

(2 Corinthians 5:11) Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; and we are well known to God, and I also hope are well known in your consciences.

(2 Corinthians 5:12) For we do not commend ourselves again to you, but give you occasion to rejoice on our behalf, that you may have an answer for those who boast in appearance and not in heart.

(2 Corinthians 5:13) For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; or if we are of sound mind, it is for you.

(2 Corinthians 5:14) For the love of Christ holds us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died;

(2 Corinthians 5:15) and He died for all, that those who live should no longer live unto themselves, but unto Him who died for them and rose again.

(2 Corinthians 5:16) Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer.

(2 Corinthians 5:17) Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

(2 Corinthians 5:18) Now all things are from God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,

(2 Corinthians 5:19) that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the Word of reconciliation.

(2 Corinthians 5:20) Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ. As God is exhorting through us, we beseech you on Christ’s behalf, Be reconciled to God.

(2 Corinthians 5:21) For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

(Isaiah 54:1) Rejoice, O barren one, you who have not borne; break forth into screams of delight, you who have not writhed in pangs. For more are the children of the desolate than the children of the one who is married, says Jehovah.

(Isaiah 54:2) Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings. Do not spare, lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes;

(Isaiah 54:3) for you shall burst forth on the right hand and on the left. And your seed shall inherit the nations, and make the desolate cities inhabited.

(Isaiah 54:4) Do not fear, for you shall not be ashamed; nor be humiliated, for you shall not be put to shame. For you shall forget the shame of your youth, and shall not remember the reproach of your widowhood any more.

(Isaiah 54:5) For your Maker is your husband; Jehovah of Hosts is His name; and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel. He shall be called, GOD OF THE WHOLE EARTH.

(Isaiah 54:6) For Jehovah has called you as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, like a wife of youth, when you were rejected, says your God.

(Isaiah 54:7) For a brief moment I have left you; but with great mercies I will gather you.

(Isaiah 54:8) In overflowing wrath I hid My face from you for a moment; but with everlasting kindness I will have mercy upon you, says Jehovah your Redeemer.

(Isaiah 54:9) For this is like the waters of Noah to Me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should never again overflow the earth, so I have sworn to not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.

(Isaiah 54:10) For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but My kindness shall not depart from you, nor shall My covenant of peace be removed, says Jehovah, who has mercy on you.

(Isaiah 54:11) O you afflicted one, storm-tossed and not comforted, behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems, and lay your foundations with sapphires.

(Isaiah 54:12) And I will make your pinnacles of ruby, and your gates of sparkling stones, and all your borders of delightful stones.

(Isaiah 54:13) And all your children shall be taught of Jehovah, and great shall be the peace of your children.

(Isaiah 54:14) In righteousness you shall be established; you shall be far from oppression; for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you.

(Isaiah 54:15) Indeed, they shall surely gather together, but not by Me; whoever shall gather against you, by you he shall fall.

(Isaiah 54:16) Behold, I have created the smith who blows the coals in the fire, and who brings out a tool for his work; and I have created the one who ruins to destroy.

(Isaiah 54:17) No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment, you shall condemn. This is the inheritance of the servants of Jehovah, and their righteousness is from Me, says Jehovah.
