Justified…..

The word just could be defined as : upright, equiptable, fair , righteous.  The word for justification is synonymous with the word for righteousness.

Since I have been born again, I have been made righteous.  I walk in the nature of God that now resides within my spirit.  I am a new creation.  I am justified in that I have been made righteous.  I am now to walk in this newness of life.  I am to walk in this nature.  I walk in faith….I walk according to the Word.  I walk in the likeness of the image of God.

The Duck thing…..

We’ve all heard this saying….if it looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, walks like a duck……it is a duck!  When you were born again and made righteous by the nature of God on the inside….the operation of the Holy Spirit was performed and the old sin nature was stripped out….you are no longer a sinner….you are now a saint!  You have changed kingdoms. You were delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the kingdom of God…Col. 1:13.

You have God inside…God is….God is reality….God is truth…when  you walk in His Word…you think like God, talk like God, act like God, look like God….you are the very likeness of the image of God that he created humankind to be in the Garden.
