VERSE:
...you are in Christ Jesus,
who has become for us wisdom from
God -- that is, our righteousness, holiness
and redemption.
Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in
the
Lord."
-- 1 Corinthians
1:30-31
THOUGHT:
Jesus is our righteousness, holiness, and redemption. Let's
unpack those
church words. Righteousness -- the ability to stand
before God and be
declared free from guilt. Holiness -- the
character and nature that reflect
the glory and sanctity of heaven.
Redemption -- the gift of freedom bought at
great expense.
Christians aren't perfect? Hmmm! We know this is true. But,
because
of Jesus' loving sacrifice, we also know that in God's eyes
we're
righteous, holy, and redeemed. That, dear friend of Jesus, is
what
we call amazing grace!
