God speaks His rhema, you hear, faith comes and gives you access to God’s grace, and grace does God’s righteousness through you, and Christ is more fully formed in you while the flesh is diminished. God’s rhema is what God says. It’s God’s utterance. The only way you can walk in righteousness is by grace. The only way you can access grace is through faith. You can walk in God’s righteousness, but you need to listen to God as He leads you. Unless God leads you to it by His utterance, His rhema, it’s not righteousness. However, God’s rhema isn’t enough. God must lead, and then you must yield and allow God to do His works through you. You must allow Him to say His words through you. God gives you this righteousness as a gift. However, you must receive it. God doesn’t force His gifts on you. You can fight against God’s righteousness.
Whatever isn’t of faith is sin. In other words, if God didn’t lead you to it and do it through you, then it’s sin. Your own way is sin. Your own effort is sin. The narrow way is extremely narrow.
and everything that is not from faith is sin. ~ Romans 14:23b
The righteousness grace does through you is God’s gift of righteousness.
For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive an abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ! ~ Romans 5:17
This righteousness isn’t theoretical. It does works of righteousness. It’s real and practical as God thinks His thoughts, speaks His words, and does His acts through you. You are to speak only His words. You are to do only His acts. You weren’t created to be independent of God. God created you to be joined to Him in intimate communion.
Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Christ is righteous. ~ Romans 6:13
When you read the words, “let no one deceive you,” those words are there because someone is going to try to deceive you. There’s no such thing as righteousness without doing righteousness. King James Version says, “he that doeth righteousness is righteous.”
Of course, you do this righteousness by yielding to the Holy Spirit and allowing God to do His righteousness through you. Your part is to yield the members of your bodies to His righteousness.
Do not present the parts of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourself to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and present the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness. ~ Romans 6:13
