1 Corinthians 1:30 (NIV)
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.
God's grace has brought us into a saving relationship with
Jesus as our Lord and Savior. As believers, we recognize that Jesus' sacrifice
on the Cross was much more than a terrible miscarriage of justice and the
murder of a good and decent man. Jesus is God's wisdom, a wisdom to convince us
of his love. Jesus is our righteousness; taking our sins upon himself he made
us righteous. Jesus is our ongoing holiness. His blood cleanses us at the
beginning and continues to do so today. Jesus is our holiness; his death means
our righteousness. Jesus is our ransom payment, redeeming us from sin and
death. Jesus is our everything!
Thought for today:
Do I honor my righteousness through Christ?
