Through God and our Savior's Righteousness

2Pe_1:1  Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ

THROUGH the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God AND our Savior Jesus Christ, we obtain precious FAITH!

We do not obtain faith through our own righteousness! 
If we have to rely on our own righteousness we are LOST.
When we take hold of our Savior's righteousness we can claim faith through HIM, we have HIS faith, a sin conquering faith. We conquer through HIM and no other. HE is our LEADER, our KING and we must be willing to follow Him through all of life, every part of life. We can NEVER shut our King out of our lives, not ever. 

Most of us in this world today do not live life under allegiance to a king. And those who do live under kings today do not live under kings that take them into battles, like kings of old.

Our King, Jesus, leads us into battle daily.  We must swear our loyalty to Him, we must choose to serve Him, we must follow Him everywhere and anywhere He would have us go. We must do all He commands that we do. We must live as He demands, we must do all this and know that as He lead us from heaven through the Holy Spirit here on earth that one day He will return to call us to meet Him in the air and return to heaven with Him.

He is our KING, and we are His subjects, subjects He loves as His children, subjects He DIED to save.

Please, Lord, please let us realize You are our King, that it is YOUR righteousness that gives us the faith we need.  Help us to be YOURS, wholly YOURS as we fight the spiritual battle here and now. A spiritual battle that engages us daily.  By YOUR GRACE and LOVE, always!
