The Word in Romans 3:23-25 (NIV) says “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are freely justified by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood, to be received by faith”
Brethren, Christ has paid the price for all your transgressions, saved you from the bondage of sin and made you righteous by His blood. All it takes to tap from the atonement and righteousness the blood of Christ brought is to have faith. Romans 1:17 says the righteous will live by faith”
Righteousness is credited by God to those who believe. Therefore, do not pursue righteousness as if it were works, for no one can boast before God. Righteousness is by faith, for the blood of Christ has come to free you from the curse of the law. Romans 4:2 says Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness”
Rejoice in the lavish grace of God, for this righteousness was credited not to Abraham alone, but for us also who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.
I invite you brethren, to fixate your eyes on the blood of Christ that was shed as a price for your life and justification. Plead the blood always by faith, for by the blood you are freely justified and redeemed, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us (Ephesians 1:7 NIV).
Prayer:
Righteous God, I want to be more like You so help me actively pursue righteousness and love. my heart longs to move from sinfulness to righteousness. I choose to seek You because I know that You offer life, prosperity and honor. Your Word says that the righteous will never be shaken and will be remembered forever. I thank You for Your righteousness, Amen.
