The next IMPACT Bible Study Lesson is titled: “Our Righteousness” <Click to Print/Download!
When you came to God, when you believed in, and placed your faith in, His Son Jesus, at that point, God
declared you to be “righteous”.
You didn’t do anything to “become” righteous, “Jesus” did everything for you!!!
1). Romans 5:19- For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the
obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
QUESTIONS: How did you get to be a sinner? You were “born” a sinner. How did you get to
be “righteous”? In the same way,….you were “born again”.
You automatically became a sinner, when you were “born”. You automatically became
righteous, when you were “born again”.
2). Romans 3:22a (AMP)- This righteousness of God comes through faith in Jesus Christ for
all those….who believe and trust in Him and acknowledge Him as God’s Son…
Again, you didn’t have to “do” anything to become, or to be declared, righteous by God. You
only had to acknowledge and believe in His Son Jesus. To believe that He became your substitute,
and was punished for you, on the cross.
Now, because of that, you no longer have to stand before God, believing that you have to do
something, to be good enough to talk with Him, or to stand before Him.
And, since that is the case, this is now what you’re able to do:
3). Hebrews 4:16- Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain
mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

IMPACT Bible Study – “Our Righteousness”.
This is what you can now expect:
4). Psalm 23:6a- Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:…
Because of what Jesus did, and because of what you believe, this is what God now says about you:
5). Matthew 3:17b- “….This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
One of the main things that has changed from the above mentioned scene, is that God, now
has additional sons and daughters.
6). John 1:12- But as many as received him, to them gave He power to become the sons of
God, even to them that believe on his name:
7). I John 3:1a- Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we
should be called the sons of God:…..
BOTTOM LINE: Our objective and purpose:
a). That you might come to know, that God now considers you to be righteous in His sight.
b). That when you wake up each morning, you will get/wake up with a good understanding,
that God has forever accepted you, and that you do not have to walk around feeling condemned.
