The Righteousness of Christ

     Soak in the freedom that Jesus offers. He paid the full price for us. He became sin and we became righteous. There is no work involved on our part, just receiving the gift with our faith. We make it complicated. We want to work for it. Guilt creeps in. We aren’t worthy. We aren’t enough. We’ve done too many awful things in our past.

God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21

He became sin. All of the world’s sins were laid on His shoulders. His holy blood shed for us. We can’t do it. Righteousness and holiness are impossible feats. Only one perfect man was enough. And He finished the work.

God now sees us as righteous because of Jesus. And that is why we pray in His name. We are allowed into the throne room of heaven as our inheritance, freely given. Accept the gift through faith and be set free.

Father,

We need constant reminders of this gift. We are unworthy and you make us worthy. We sin and You forgive. We are confident in Your son and in His righteousness and we receive it freely.

In Jesus name,

Amen
