“In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE Lord OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.”
Jeremiah 23:6 KJV
Jeremiah prophesied of the Messiah here Who was to bring righteousness. The Jews had depended on the law for righteousness. But now through Christ the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in us who walk not in the flesh but after the Spirit. Because Jesus died in the flesh, through faith in the finished work of the Cross, we are crucified with Him. Now Christ lives in us and if Christ lives in us, our body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. Let’s mortify the deeds of our flesh as we surrender to the Holy Spirit, so that the LORD our Righteousness is revealed through us to the world around us, as we walk after the Holy Spirit.
