DAILY DEVOTIONAL – June 21, 2024 Perfect Righteousness By David Wilkerson God accepts only one kind of righteousness: perfect righteousness. Nothing else will stand in his presence on Judgment Day. Unless our righteousness is absolutely perfect, he cannot save us, justify us, recognize or accept us. This perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ our Lord can be had only by faith. The writer of Hebrews introduces us to the truth that this righteousness is the inheritance of all true believers. It is something Jesus has left for us, something that belongs to us, a legacy.  “By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith” (Hebrews 11:7, NKJV). Noah became an heir not by building an ark but by what he believed and preached. He grasped this knowledge of righteousness which God had revealed to him, a righteousness that is by faith; and he became an heir of a perfect righteousness. Beloved, you and I were given a great inheritance when Christ departed the earth. He left us a title and deed to his very own perfect righteousness.  Of course, Jesus lived in absolute poverty while on this earth; he owned no land, had no money; but he left us riches greater than the diamond mines of South Africa, greater than the oil fields in the Middle East, greater than the gold and silver buried under America’s mountains. Jesus gave us an inheritance that can make us far richer than any person on the face of the earth.  It is an inheritance to a perfect righteousness that allows us to stand before God without condemnation. Once you understand this inheritance, you can stand against every devil in hell.  Satan will not be able to accuse you before the Father, your brethren or your own conscience because you are an heir to the perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ!
