My Righteousness is from YOU – JESUS

My righteousness is from YOU
JESUS – who suffered and died
And rose again

In YOU I triumph – unstoppable –
Your LOVE is my JOY – YOU are
TRUTH and GRACE – JESUS –
Son of the Father

My righteousness is from YOU
JESUS – who suffered and died
And rose again

My sins and lawless deeds YOU
Remember no more –
I am blessed by GRACE and
Freed by TRUTH

My righteousness is from YOU
JESUS – who suffered and died
And rose again

Who delivers from condemnation –
Who abolishes guilt –
The ONE who freely gave
His blood

My righteousness is from YOU
JESUS – who suffered and died
And rose again

Who keeps His promises –
Who defends His own
From every accusation –
YOU LORD

My righteousness is from YOU
JESUS – who suffered and died
And rose again

Who sits on the Throne at
The Father’s right hand –
YOU- LORD JESUS –
Glory Hallelujah

My righteousness is from YOU
JESUS – who suffered and died
And rose again

Romans 8:1 – The Bible (KJV) – There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, *who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

(*Scholars say that this phrase was not in the original documents but was added later by translators. However, those who belong to Jesus, loving Him, do desire to walk with Him. Knowing the truth of our inheritance in Christ empowers us to walk in the Spirit. When we fail, we are forgiven; our righteousness is from Jesus. We are not condemned. Our sins were put on Jesus and His righteousness was given to us at Calvary.)

Romans 8:2 – For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

John 5:24 – The Bible (KJV) –  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.  (Words of Jesus)

John 1:17 – The Bible (KJV) – For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 8:12 – The Bible (NKJV) – For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.  

Romans 5:17-19 – The Bible (KJV) – For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ. Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.  For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

Isaiah 54:17 – The Bible (KJV) – No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.

Acts 1:9-11 – The Bible (KJV) – And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.  And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven?  This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
