You can’t produce righteousness.

You can’t produce righteousness. It comes from God. You can’t produce love. It’s a fruit of the Holy Spirit. It comes from the Holy Spirit. It comes by listening to His voice and receiving His faith. His faith gives you access to His grace. His grace does the works of love and says the words of love through you. You yield yourself to His love. You play an important part. You yield. You stop fighting God. God does everything else. The commandments “Do not commit adultery,” “Do not murder,” “Do not steal,” “Do not covet,” and any other commandments, are summed up in this one decree: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” ~ Romans 13:9 For you, brothers, were called to freedom; but do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh. Rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is fulfilled in a single decree: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” ~ Galatians 5:13-14 And we have come to know and believe the love that God has for us. God is love; whoever abides in love abides in God, and God in him. In this way, love has been perfected among us, so that we may have confidence on the day of judgment; for in this world we are just like Him. ~ 1 John 4:16-17 If you listen to God in all the ways He speaks to you, God’s faith comes. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word (rhema) of God. Consequently, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word (rhema or utterance) of Christ. ~ Romans 10:17 The Greek term, “rhema,” translated “word,” means “utterance.” Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the utterance of God. Jesus Christ is the Logos, the Utterance of God. That’s why Jesus Christ is the Author and Finisher of your faith. When God speaks, He’s speaking the essence of Christ into you if you will receive it from Him. He’s planting a seed. That means when God leads, if you have ears to hear, faith comes. This faith isn’t an internal human effort of making yourself believe, that is, make-believe. It’s not pretending. Faith is substance: reality as opposed to concept. And it’s evidence: absolutely certain proof.
