His Righteousness On Me

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

1 Corinthians 1:30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.

Philippians 3:9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.

Romans 8:1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,

Christ is all. These four verses tell us this:

Jesus has become sin for us so that God does not condemn us-ever-for anything. In Jesus, we have become God's righteousness-nothing we could ever do can make us righteous-only Jesus can do that as we believe in Him.

Jesus is our wisdom of God. Because of Jesus, we are God's righteousness-we cannot achieve God's righteousness without Jesus-but in Jesus we are the very righteousness of God.

We are holy-in Christ we are holy-only because of Jesus can we say that.

In Christ, we have God's infinite wisdom, His righteousness, His holiness-we have been, in Christ, made blameless, holy, righteous, and wise, and put in a place of purity-without any sin-in God's eyes. In God's eyes, because of Jesus...

...We are everything God wants us to be.

...because He loves us...

Father in Heaven,

Forgive me for not being thankful and aware of how complete I am in Christ. Open my eyes to embrace these precious truths.

Faithful and loving God,

In the name of Christ Jesus,

Amen
