Living in the Righteousness of God
Reigning as Kings and Priests:
Scripture(s):
"For if because of one man’s trespass (lapse, offense) death through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God’s] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One)." — Romans 5:17 (AMPC)
"The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together." — Romans 8:16-17 (KJV)
"God stands in the congregation of the mighty; He judges among the gods. How long will you judge unjustly, And show partiality to the wicked? Selah. Defend the poor and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy; Free them from the hand of the wicked." — Psalm 82:1-4 (NKJV)
"But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." — 1 Peter 2:9 (AMPC)
"But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." — 1 Peter 2:9 (AMPC)
"Where the word of a king is, there is power:" — Ecclesiastes 8:4 (KJV)
"And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified." — Acts 20:32 (KJV)
"Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be able established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways." — Job 22:28 (KJV)
"The fruit of the [uncompromisingly] righteous is a tree of life, and he who is wise captures human lives [for God, as a fisher of men—he gathers and receives them for eternity]." — Proverbs 11:30 (AMPC)
"And from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen." — Revelation 1:5-7
Reflection:
As sons and daughters of the King, we are called to reign with the authority, grace, and justice of the Kingdom. Our righteousness and inheritance empower us to establish God’s will on earth, reflecting His love and bringing justice to those in need. The same grace that builds us up equips us to defend the weak, uplift the afflicted, and free the oppressed.
Ruling as kings and priests means more than authority; it’s a call to serve, love, and lead others into the light of His Kingdom. Let His Word be your foundation as you decree His promises and extend His justice to the world. You are empowered to reign, to build, and to bring freedom through His righteousness.
💡 Meditate on Psalm 82:3-4 and Romans 5:17 this week. Reflect on how your position as a king and priest calls you to defend and uplift others. Identify one area where you can bring God’s justice or love into action. Use your authority in Christ to decree freedom, healing, or provision in someone’s life this week.
💡 Walk boldly in your divine purpose and be the light that brings God’s Kingdom on earth!
