"Train your conscience to believe that God approves of you."
Martin Luther
"Jesus was handed over to be crucified for the forgiveness of our sins and was raised back to life to prove that He had made us right with God!"
Romans 4:25
God is happy with us and verifies that we are righteous, justified, and approved by raising Christ from the dead. Christ was raised as proof that our sins were taken away completely and we were made right with God. I do not have to work to get God's approval; I can live in freedom and joy because I already have it in Christ.
A Thought: Through Christ I have God's permanent stamp of approval.
