"We are already as holy, righteous, forgiven and loved as we will ever be - RIGHT NOW."
Mike Fitzpatrick
"But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption."
1 Corinthians 1:30
We are not trying to get righteous or trying to get sanctified. We already are those things, right now. We have Christ's own righteousness and holiness as our own. We are as righteous as Christ is, as approved by God and as right with God as Christ is. We are as holy as Christ is, as set apart. Right now!
A Thought: I have God's stamp of approval.
