What shall we say then that Abraham our father,

as pertaining to the flesh, has found. For what says the scripture?

Abraham believed God and it was counted to him for righteousness.

- Rom 4: 1-3.

Oh what blessed assurance! Oh what marvelous light! Oh what glorious grace and divine holy love! The Father having all power, wisdom and strength thought it best to use faith as a medium to grant Abraham righteousness. The Father being full of compassion and mercy thought it best to call Abraham righteous because of his faith. The Creator, the Self- Existing One, the I Am of eternity, the Alpha and Omega used faith to cloth Abraham with righteousness! God could've used anything to grant Abraham righteousness but instead, He chose faith!

For this reason, if you, like Abraham, put your total trust in the Father, the Father then will favor your faith as righteousness! Thus, when you allow Christ's faith to live in you to utilize His faith to look up to the Father, the Father then when He looks down will behold you as righteous! Why? Because you're clothed with Christ's faith, which is Christ's righteousness! Therefore, receive this promise of God as the Holy Spirit speaks life into your soul.

It is written, "But to him, that believeth on Him, his faith shall be counted to him for righteousness. Rom. 4:5. If you desire to be righteous, believe what Christ believes. If you want to have pure and undefiled faith, I adjure you by the most High God to believe what Christ believes. If you want the faith of Jesus Christ to reign in your mortal body then in the name of Jesus, believe what Christ believes and His faith will transform you and compel God to call you righteous! May the faith of Jesus Christ which is the righteousness of God be given to you now.
