Jesus Is Your Righteousness 4/21 Tuesday Truth

God automatically, when you confess Jesus and accept Him as your Lord, becomes your righteousness.  And the moment that God becomes your righteousness, that moment your standing is like the standing of the Son of God.
For years I hunted for this thing I have given you tonight.  That ounce of unfitness and unworthiness (or as we call it in psychology, that inferiority complex) swamped me.  But when I saw that God became my righteousness I said, "I want you to know, Satan, that you have lost your case."  I know what I am now.

If Jesus Rose ... 4/20 Monday Meditation

I want to make a few deductions.  What are the implications if Jesus Christ rose from the dead?  What then?  Here are three things.  We know He is the Son of God.  We know that "He died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and rose again for our justification."  We know that every man who accepts Jesus Christ, God redeems that man, and we know that Romans 3:26 is true:
That he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
God automatically, when you confess Jesus and accept Him as your Lord, becomes your righteousness.  And the moment that God becomes your righteousness, that moment your standing is like the standing of the Son of God.

Divine Health 4/17 Friday Faith

Divine healing is the removal, in the power of God, of the disease that has come upon the body.  But divine health is to live day by day and hour by hour in touch with God, so that the life of God flows into the body just as the life of God flows into the mind or flows into the spirit.

The Real Christian 4/16 Thursday Thoughts

The real Christian is a separated man.  He is separated forever unto God in all the departments of his life, and so his body and his soul and his spirit are forever committed to God.  Therefore, from the day that he commits himself to God, he can go to no other power for help or healing, except to God.

Secret of How to Live 4/15 Wednesday Wisdom

Jesus gave us the secret of how to live this kind of life.  Jesus showed us that the only way to live this life was to commit oneself, as He did, to the will of God and not walk in his own ways at all, but walk in God's ways.  So the one who is going to be a Christ-man in the best sense and let the world  see Jesus in him, must walk in all the ways of Jesus and follow Him. He must be a Christ-man, a Christian, or Christ-one.

A Christ-Man 4/14 Tuesday Truth

When one gives himself to the Lord and becomes a child of God -- a Christian -- he is a Christ-man.  All that he does and all that he says from that time on should be the will and the words and the doings of Jesus, just as absolutely, just as entirely as He spoke and did the will of the Father.

The Secret Is In Being 4/13 Monday Meditation

A low standard of Christianity is responsible for all the shame and sin and wickedness in the world.  Many Christians think it is all right if they pattern after Jesus in a sort-of way.  They imitate Him and they do the things which He did; that is, they outwardly do them. They perform kind acts and they do other things which Jesus did.  But the secret of Christianity is not in doing, the secret is in being.  Real Christianity is in being a possessor of the nature of Jesus Christ.  In other words, it is being Christ in character, Christ in demonstration, Christ in agency of transmission.
