Hello Everyone, Welcome to Righteousness Chalkboard.  

Our Scripture reference today comes from the book of Proverbs 21 verse 21.  Here, it says "He that follows after righteousness and mercy finds life, finds righteousness, finds honor."

To follow after righteousness is to understand that righteousness is a position.  Yet, righteousness is even more than that because of the cross of Jesus Christ.  We have died with Him and we have been planted in the likeness of His resurrection,and it is in that place that we have been saved by grace.  

Through grace it is there that we are born of the Rest of Jesus and we are born of the faith of Jesus and yet that is not all.  That is why righteousness is a position and yet so much more than that because there is a final work of the finished works of the cross where the Father joined Himself together as One with you, through the cross.  

In that place He joined you together as One in a place, a position, where His Life can flow from your life because you are now upheld in the finished works of the cross. 

It is here that as we are born of God we are born of His Rest, and we are born His Mercy and we are born of His Life.  We are born of honor because of that the cross is a work that binds the work of the enemy in the earth to stay out of our life.  

A. Being born of God's Rest teaches us how the Father joined us together as One through Christ Jesus because of the cross.  What does this mean to you?

B. As we are born of God's Rest the cross binds the work of the enemy in the earth.  What comes to mind?__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Righteousness establishes us and in life.  

But also, we are established in deliverance and in freedom because we have been translated out of darkness and into the glorious light and life of God. 

1. When you heard or read that you are established in deliverance what does that mean to you?_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________.

2. When you heard that you are established in freedom what does that mean to you?

Not only does the cross bind the works of the enemy from our lives but the resurrected Life of Jesus, the quickening work of the Father who made us One through Christ has now raised us with he same Life or, God is One with us.  

3. When the Father joined us with Him in Rest He hid us in Him as One.  What does that mean to you?

4.  He hid us in Him through Christ and we are now born of God's Rest and Righteousness.  In your own words when you hear these statements, what comes to mind? 

A. You are now born of God's Rest, God's Faith, God's Work, God's Nature and you are One.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

B. You are now born of Jesus Rest, Jesus Faith, His Works, and His Nature.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

C.  You are born of the Holy Spirit's Rest, His Faith, His Works, His Nature.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"Follow after righteousness!"  What is a simple application? Number one, "Learn more about what righteousness is."  Number two, "Recognize the position of the work of and Jesus and your life from the heart."  Number three, "Recognize the final work that God joined Himself together with you through the cross and in that place we are born of Righteousness; in that place the Holy Spirit takes of the Father to give to us.  Here, the Holy Spirit does it through Christ Jesus."  That's good news! Righteousness is a position that we recognize in our hearts the work of the Father, the work of the Son, and the work of the Spirit.  We are born into each of them which represents the Kingdom of God.
