Through the Spirit We WAIT for the Hope of Righteousness

Gal_5:5  For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

TRUTH!

We WAIT for the hope of righteousness by faith.

We don't attain righteousness of our own, we WAIT for the HOPE of righteousness by faith, and we do this through the Holy Spirit.

We do this...

Eph_4:24  And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

We put on the NEW MAN, the new man after God is created in RIGHTEOUSNESS and true HOLINESS. And this righteousness, this true holiness is only through the Holy Spirit, not something we create, not something we manufacture, not something we produce. We are made new through CHRIST, we do NOT make ourselves new.

Col 3:9  Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
Col 3:10  And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him
Col 3:11  Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
Col 3:12  Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
Col 3:13  Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
Col 3:14  And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
Col 3:15  And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
Col 3:16  Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Col 3:17  And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

All by the Lord Jesus!

We must believe, truly believe.

Gal_3:6  Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

Through belief we wait, we hope, and that through the Holy Spirit.

All by HIS grace and mercy! All by HIS righteousness the righteousness we wait for!

In Christ's love!


Amen.
