The Righteous Life Has Less Bumps on The Road

We have all done things that are not acceptable in life. We were born into sin and shaped in iniquity (Psalm 51:5). We have all fallen short of the righteousness of God. We may think we’re all that but God’s judgement meter has you in the red. Self righteousness gets you nowhere in this world. Once we start operating under the rules of right standing with God, we become properly separated from this world system and its way of living. Through the redemption provided in Christ, we have been redeemed from the curse of the law (Galatians 3:13). We can live a life without the bondage of habitual sin. Even though we still miss the mark at times, and we will because we’re still human. Our bodies still have the sin nature; having not been redeemed yet, we must keep it under control from acting up (1 Corinthians 9:27). Being in right standing with God opens a door of grace and favor into our lives that would not be there otherwise. Think of it this way, once in right standing with God, it’s like having less friction in life, and you know you’re good with God, which is all that really matters.
