I Am Innocent

Abraham is our example of faith. He believed God’s promise to Him. Here is the way God sees us. God speaks of Abraham as if he never staggered at which God said. We all know that he did and that it took a number of years for him to believe. Yet God had Paul write in Romans 4 that Abraham staggered not at the promise of God. What a vision God has of us. Look at it. See yourself and others through God’s vision of righteousness by faith.

Romans 4:17-25
(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.
Who against hope believed ikn hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb:
He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;
And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.
Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;
But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

Abraham’s faith was imputed or credited to him as righteousness (being right with God).
It is written for our sake also.

By faith we believe in God Who raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead.

Jesus was betrayed and put to death, delivered up for our offenses (faults, sins, trespasses—those things we do wrong, whether unintentional or willful, things contrary to God, to Love Himself).
Jesus was raised for our justification. He was raised and absolved us from all guilt before God. That’s what righteousness is: I AM INNOCENT! I have innocence.

In the courtroom of the spirit realm, our plea is this: I PLEAD THE BLOOD OF JESUS; I AM INNOCENT! Because of the blood of Jesus, we are innocent. Our guilt is gone. Someone (Jesus) took the blame, took our place, so we could walk out of prison into freedom. We were captives, enslaved by satan’s trap, but Jesus set us free from bondage. We are no longer bound. We are free.

Hallelujah! We are free! Because of Jesus we are innocent! Our sins are washed away! We are pure! We are clean! FOREVER WE ARE INNOCENT! We are righteous (right with God). In God’s eyesight, we are as pure as His Son Jesus. We are His pure children also. It is all because of God’s great love and Jesus’ great sacrifice for all of us. The Son has made us free.

Today, let’s receive the fullness of our innocence. God delights in us when we receive the fullness of the innocence He has provided for us. We receive the fullness of righteousness. Thank You, Lord!
