Daily devotion – Clothed
He made Him….to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. – 2 Corinthians 5:21
When you came to Christ, the Bible tells us Christ imparted His righteousness to us. Once we were sinners in God’s eyes; but now He sees us as righteous because of what Christ has done for us.
You ask how could this happen? In our own selves we know we are not righteous. The Bible declares this truth as well – There is none righteous, no, not one – Romans 3:10. But the moment we accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour, the filthy rags of our sins were replaced with the glorious robe of Christ’s righteousness.
Our sins were transferred to Him – and His righteousness was transferred to us. Amazing!
Did we deserve this? No. Did we earn it? No. It is all of grace – all because of God’s UNDESERVED favour toward us in Christ. We can never win God’s favour by our own deeds, no matter how good we are.
Only Jesus Christ can save us. Thank God that you now stand before Him and He sees you as you now really are – clothed in the perfect righteousness of Christ His Son!
