Righteousness

“God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us so that in Him we might become the Righteousness of God.”-2 Corinthians 5:21 

I know that God had no sin but because of His love He sacrificed His life so that you and I can become the righteousness of God. Like the “two sides of the coin of salvation”, forgiveness and righteousness being each side, by faith, one receives them both. When they receive one, they also received the other. 

How to become the righteous? It is hard to be righteous in our own way but Christ was given to us to be our righteousness. Righteousness is a gift and no one can work for it or earn it. And no one deserves to be made righteous. Like any gift, righteousness can only be accepted or rejected. Once a person has accepted Jesus Christ, He or she has accepted His gift of righteousness and can say,” I’m righteous because of Christ. J

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.
