Righteousness: Your True Peace and Quiet

"And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever." (Isaiah 32: 17)

Did you know that the righteousness that you are in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21), the same that He is ever giving to us (Romans 5: 17) also works on your behalf?

By resting in your righteousness, you can trust that He is working on your behalf, for Christ Himself is our righteousness:
"But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption." (1 Corinthians 1: 30)

Christ is your rest, as well (Matthew 11: 28), in which He literally says: "I will rest you!"

In Christ, you can trust that God will meet all your needs, as well:

"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4: 19)

What is the key that makes all of these wonderful gifts manifest in your life? His righteousness:

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." (Matthew 6: 33)

From this righteousness, receive Christ your peace and rest!
