DON’T BE DECEIVED
Don’t be deceived.
Don’t let them tell you lies.
The righteous one does righteousness.
Don’t let them tell you lies.
Don’t be deceived.
Don’t let them tell you lies.
The righteousness that Jesus gives,
Is real and genuine.
It’s love, joy and peace,
longsuffering, gentleness,
Goodness, faith and meekness.
It’s temperance.
Don’t be deceived.
Don’t let them tell you lies.
The righteous one does righteousness.
It’s work by grace through faith.
Don’t be deceived.
Don’t let them tell you lies.
The righteousness that Jesus gives,
Is righteousness indeed.

“Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Christ is righteous.” (1 John 3:7)
Forgiveness includes both pardon and taking away the sinful nature. The “walk in the Spirit” (Galatians 5:16) is a transformation “from glory to glory” (1 Corinthians 3:18) When we listen to the voice of the Holy One leading, teaching, and correcting us, faith comes, and with faith comes grace, the power for righteousness. Since Christ is doing the righteousness and not we ourselves, the righteousness is real. Righteousness leads to a change in what we are. God is forming Christ in us and removing the rebellious nature.
