SERMONS BY JOYCE MEYER
You are right with God therefore you can enjoy the blessings of God - peace, health, wealth, a good family and all the best things in your life. Today when God sees you, He sees you righteous. He does not see your faults and sins you had done and you might do in future, he does not remember your past and what you used to be !
You know why?
You know why?
Somebody totally sinless - was punished in your place . He did not deserve to be punished. But he was. Similarly, you may not deserve to be blessed. But you are.
Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1
Righteousness is such a powerful thing. It is like a magic coat and whoever wears it, attracts good things in life - like money, health, nice friends and favour and every good thing that you can think of. We never had that before because Adam sinned, we all human beings are doomed to sin, sickness and death. It is universal, as we all know. Jesus had the coat of righteousness because he was sinless and perfect. Everywhere he went, he was a blessing. He healed the sick, made fishermen rich and enjoyed a good life, because he was righteous.
The good news(Gospel) is, He wanted us to have the best life also. So, he did something wonderful. On the cross, he took all our sins and curse. And he transferred his righteousness to our account. God treated him as the worst sinner on the cross because he was carrying the world's sins (including yours).
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.Ephesians 1:3-7
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son. John 3:18
Jesus usually addresses God as Father. Do you know, the only place in the bible where JESUS called His Father, "My God" - is when he was on the Cross ?
About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"--which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
Only the Righteous has the right to address the God as Father.
Jesus was made sin on the cross, that you might become the righteousness of God in Him.
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21

Someone has to pay for our sins. God chose Jesus to pay for us. Jesus overpaid for our sins.. AMEN.
O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Psalm 107:1
O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Psalm 107:1
And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3
