165 - The Fruit of Righteousness

What is the spiritual fruit of being made a new creation in Jesus Christ? In Isaiah, chapter 45:8, God 'rains down righteousness' so it can be planted and 'spring forth good fruit'. If you have received God's forgiveness and resurrected life in Jesus Christ, you are a new creation and have been made righteous in God's eyes. Moreover, in Genesis 1:28, God tells Adam and Eve to be 'fruitful and multiply', however, He is not telling them to simply replenish the earth with more people. God also intended for the 'first couple' to experience His spiritual fruit of righteousness that was readily available. But of course, all was lost when Adam and Eve sinned and were expelled from the Garden of Eden. So, how can you still receive the fruit of righteousness today? Jesus is the righteousness of God sent to us in human form to redeem mankind from his fallen state of unrighteousness. I hope this message will enrich your understanding of God's righteousness and how you can access this spiritual fruit as a gift when made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (2 Cor. 5:21).
