Righteousness Produces God-Quality Of Life

Righteousness is a gift of God and from God (2 Cor 5:21). By believing in Christ & His finished works, we are made right with God (Rom 3:22).

However, Romans 6 tells us that we have the power of choice. Though we are free from the power of sin, we can still choose to sin. Every sin, therefore, is a choice for a believer. It is never a bondage, and it is never an addiction IF you are a believer. If the Word is truth, then what you were taught and believed is a lie.

For just as you 𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞 presented your members as slaves to impurity and to 𝐥𝐚𝐰𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐰𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬, so now present your members as slaves to 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. - Rom 6:19

Presenting our body IS a choice, because we have the power of choice as a believer. If we present it to lawlessness (sin), it will lead to more lawlessness (sin). It becomes easier to repeat the sin again and again. And it becomes easier to go deeper in that sin.

i.e. If you tell white lies often, you will eventually think it is okay. Soon you will get deeper in lying to others, because you are deceived by your own lawlessness.

But 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐞𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐬𝐢𝐧 and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐞𝐧𝐝, 𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞. - Rom 6:22

If we present our body to righteousness, it produces fruit. For Right Believing leads to Right Living (fruit). And right living leads to sanctification (mind renewal, Rom 12:2), which in turn, produces God-quality of life (eternal life) in the NOW-possession.

i.e. If we believe that we are made right with God, we can do Mark 16:17-18 and lay hands on the sick ----- that's right living. The more we do it, the more our mind will be renewed. Eventually, we experience God's healing in reality ------ eternal life in the NOW-possession.

The foundation of God-quality of life is Righteousness. For Righteousness leads to Sanctification (Mind-Renewal) that produces Eternal Life.
