THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

YOU ARE NOT WHO YOU USED TO BE ONCE YOU MAKE JESUS THE LORD OF YOUR LIFE

If you’ve accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, then YOU are the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God. That means you are ONE with Him and an extension of His VIRTUE. You are APPROVED by Him. You are in right STANDING with Him. You BELONG to Him.

Not only did Jesus pay for the punishment for your sins, but the Scripture also says He actually BECAME sin. He took sin upon Himself and into His being so that you could take God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS upon yourself and into YOUR being. It’s the great EXCHANGE.

Today, don’t let the enemy hold you back by making you feel guilty or condemned. You are NOT who you used to be; you are the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ! First John 1:9 says that if we CONFESS our sins, He is FAITHFUL and JUST to forgive us our sins and to CLEANSE us from all unrighteousness. If there is anything in your life that is holding you back today, CONFESS it to God. Let Him CLEANSE you and make you NEW. Remember, He paid a precious price so that you could BE His righteousness. Meditate on this TRUTH and let Him set you FREE!

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:

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, NIV
