Part 1 – He made us Righteous
Have you ever stopped and realized what the Blood of Jesus has done for you? Have you ever thought of what He has bought for us? What do we get to experience because of the Blood?
- He made us Righteous
- Question: What is righteousness? Answer – A right standing before God.
- Romans 5:9 “Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.”
Christ lived a life that completely fulfilled God’s demand of righteousness and thus offered himself on the cross as a perfect sacrifice for our sins. Our own doing, and our own achievements could by no means compare to the sacrifice of what Christ gave.
Without Christ paying the penalty for sin, we would have never been justified
Isaiah 64:6 “We have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment. We all fade like a leaf, and our iniquities, like the ind, take us away.”
Nothing makes us good enough to be accepted in God’s family than only through the Blood of Jesus, that’s when we become justified, that’s when we become righteous before God, He sees the blood when He sees you, He doesn’t see your past, he doesn’t see the mistakes, he sees a blood-bought child of God.
Question: What made Christ become the ultimate sacrifice for us to be made righteous? His Love.
JOHN 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son so that whosoever would believe in Him, would not perish but have eternal life.”
— Christ became the lightning rod, absorbing all of God’s wrath so that you and I could stand justified, righteous in his presence!
– When you question the love that God has for you, look to the Cross!
“God made Him who knew no sin to become sin so that you and I might become the righteousness of God” – 2 Corinthians 5:21
