(2 Cor 5:21 NKJV) For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
Have you ever thought of yourself of “the righteousness of God”?
I’m sure that most of the time, we feel like anything but the righteousness of God. We each do so many things throughout the course of a single day that leave us feeling far from being righteous.
In and of ourselves we are very far from righteousness. We are, in the truest sense, filthy with sin. We have all fallen so short of God’s glory and His desires for us.
But don’t despair because He has made a way to fix that!!
Jesus took our place on the cross, dying in our place, as a sacrifice for our sins. His death and resurrection paid the price, IN FULL. We are spotless before God if we’re under the blood of Jesus.
You see, if we have accepted the sacrifice that Jesus made for us on a personal level, believing that He died for our sins, we are no longer filthy in the eyes of God. We are His righteousness!!
We have been washed clean and we stand spotless before Him. Yes, we can fall down and get dirty. But because of the blood of Jesus, that dirt washes right off.
We want you to know today, right this very minute, that there is nothing that you have done that is too big for God to handle or forgive you for. We have been made the righteousness of God in Christ.
Rest in God’s peace, knowing that He created a way for us to be spotless before Him.
