Rhapsody Of Realities 21 July 2026 By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (Christ Embassy): Righteousness By Faith

TOPIC: Righteousness By Faith (Rhapsody of Realities 21 July 2026)

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith – Romans 1:17

Rhapsody Of Realities For Today’s MESSAGE:

In our previous study, we learnt that the Gospel is the power of God. It’s the message that declares that through Christ, you’ve been justified, made righteous, and brought into oneness with God. The Gospel shows you what God has done, who you have become, and what now belongs to you in Christ. This produces faith in your spirit.

God deals with men on the basis of faith. He brings men into righteousness, not because they qualified by works but because of faith. Consider something remarkable in Hebrews chapter eleven. The Bible lists great men of faith: Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Moses, etc.
But right in that list, it also says, “By faith the harlot Rahab perished not…” (Hebrews 11:31). A harlot; yet she’s included among the heroes of faith. Why? It’s because she believed! She heard about the God of Israel, saw His representatives and believed in their victory even before it happened (Read Joshua 2:1-22). She aligned herself with their faith, with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

That one act brought her into God’s purpose and even into the lineage of the Lord Jesus. This is the power of righteousness by faith. When it’s imparted to your spirit, everything changes. You’re no longer defined by who you were or where you came from but by what you’ve received.

In the Book of Romans, Paul unfolds this progressively. He shows the legality of righteousness, how God made it available through Christ, and then reveals its impartation into the human spirit. So, you’re not trying to qualify for God’s acceptance. You’ve been brought in by faith.

Live with the assurance that you’re accepted, justified, and established in God, not because of what you did but because you’ve embraced, accepted and received the righteousness which is by faith in Jesus Christ: “…that I may win Christ, And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith” (Philippians 3:8-9). Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for the righteousness revealed in the Gospel. I’m conscious that I’ve been brought into the Kingdom by faith, not by works. I walk in boldness, fully assured of my acceptance and right standing in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; [22] Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

Romans 5:17 (KJV)
For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV)
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast.
