He is the very source of our lives and peace and blessings forevermore
JOHN 8:1-2 TPT
Jesus walked up the Mount of Olives near the city where he spent the night.
Then at dawn Jesus appeared in the temple courts again, and soon all the people gathered around to listen to his words, so he sat down and taught them.
JOHN 8:3-4 TPT
Then in the middle of his teaching, the religious scholars and the Pharisees broke through the crowd and brought a woman who had been caught in the act of committing adultery and made her stand in the middle of everyone.
Then they said to Jesus, “Teacher, we caught this woman in the very act of adultery.
JOHN 8:5-6 TPT
Doesn’t Moses’ law command us to stone to death a woman like this?
Tell us, what do you say we should do with her?”
They were only testing Jesus because they hoped to trap him with his own words and accuse him of breaking the laws of Moses.
But Jesus didn’t answer them. Instead he simply bent down and wrote in the dust with his finger.
JOHN 8:7 TPT
Angry, they kept insisting that he answer their question, so Jesus stood up and looked at them and said, “Let’s have the man who has never had a sinful desire throw the first stone at her.”
It is so important to have Jesus’ Word in our lives and not our own wisdom. Have God’s Word inside us.
When you speak, words of wisdom go through powerfully by the holy spirit
Holy Spirit is the One who convict us
The righteousness of God is part of you
We are saved by grace.
JOHN 8:8-9 TPT
And then he bent over again and wrote some more words in the dust.
Upon hearing that, her accusers slowly left the crowd one at a time, beginning with the oldest to the youngest, with a convicted conscience.
JOHN 8:10 TPT
Until finally, Jesus was left alone with the woman still standing there in front of him.
So he stood back up and said to her, “Dear woman, where are your accusers?
Is there no one here to condemn you?”
JOHN 8:11 TPT
Looking around, she replied, “I see no one, Lord.”
Jesus said, “Then I certainly don’t CONDEMN you either.
GO, and FROM NOW ON,
BE FREE FROM a LIFE of SIN.”

That is where self-righteousness come in

ROMANS 6:15-16 TPT
What are we to do, then?
Should we sin to our hearts’ content since there’s no law to condemn us anymore?
What a terrible thought!
Don’t you realize that GRACE FREES you to CHOOSE your OWN MASTER?
But CHOOSE CAREFULLY, for you surrender yourself to become a servant—bound to the one you choose to obey.
If you CHOOSE to love sin, it will become your master, and it will own you and reward you with death.
But if you CHOOSE to LOVE and OBEY GOD, HE will LEAD YOU into perfect RIGHTEOUSNESS.
ROMANS 6:17 NIV
But thanks be to God that, though you USED to be SLAVES to SIN, you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance.
And NOW you CELEBRATE your FREEDOM from your former master—sin.
YOU’VE LEFT its bondage, and NOW GOD’S PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS holds POWER OVER YOU as HIS LOVING SERVANTS.
YOU HAVE been SET FREE from SIN and have become SLAVES to RIGHTEOUSNESS.
ROMANS 6:18 NIV
We don’t wear prison clothes anymore when we are out. We wear the new robe of righteousness when we are out
We are free when we come out. His perfect righteousness. We wear the robe of righteousness
Today we are the righteousness of God in Christ.
Move forward in Christ knowing the case is closed. No more condemnation
