Goodmorning,
For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.” Romans 1:17
- God expects us to be 100% righteous but we are not and can never be through our own effort. We need someone else's righteousness to be given to us but it is nowhere to be found. Can you think of one person who's life is so 'right' that they would pay for your sins and theirs?
- "Cheer up, you're worse than you think" - Jack Miller
- In the Gospel God reveals to us this righteousness that we need. It is Christ. He took your sinful record and died the death your deserved. He then gave you his sinless record so that you can live the life you don't deserve.
Prayer:
Lord Jesus Christ, I trust and believe that I'm counted righteous because of everything you did for me on the cross. I confess that I don't always get my confidence from this truth but look for it in other places. Please forgive me for this also and teach me to rest and trust in you as I grow in faith. Amen
Regards
Rev. Kruger de Kock
