ETERNITY

[Ranb2khz]

Clothed with the Righteousness of Christ

"...so that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own from the law, but one that is through faith in Christ — the righteousness from God based on faith." ~ Philippians 3:9

A woman worked as a maid in the house of a mean innkeeper. One day God saved her and she could not hide her happiness. What used to be drudgery turned into joy. The innkeeper was furious and began to belittle her. He hated her for being happy.

Finally, he said to her, “You say you’re saved and I can see your happiness. Can you tell me what being saved means?”

And she said, “To me, it feels as though I am standing in Jesus’ shoes, and He is standing in mine.” A theologian couldn’t have said it better.

2 Corinthians 5:21 says:

“He made the One who did not know sin to be a sin offering for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”

Have you come to realize that, in Jesus, you have been made “the righteousness of God”? It is the gift of God, in Him.
