FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

Php 1:9-11 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; {judgment: or, sense} 10 That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; {approve: or, try} {are...: or, differ} 11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. (KJV)

I thought of this prayer when I woke up this morning, specifically the phrase "fruits of righteousness". So all day I've been thinking about what having the righteousness of God in Christ produces in me.

* An unhindered approach to the Lord

* Confidence / boldness / assurance as I do approach the Lord

* Confidence in prayer

* A sense that its OK to be in His presence, like I am wanted there

* A boldness in battle that comes from knowing I am right with God and therefore He is on my side ... I win Praise God!!

Perhaps there are other things you can think of, I guess that's the point of this blog ... to make you think. Bllessings in Jesus.

SELAH
