"Because of Christ we're justified: made right with God! If you're justified by God, you're totally righteous and accepted, acceptable in His sight. You are as acceptable in the sight of God as Jesus Christ!"
Bob George
"Clearly, through one person's disobedience humanity became sinful, and through one person's obedience humanity will receive God's approval."
Romans 5:19
Sin brought brokenness and death to the world. But Christ's obedience brought wholeness and life to the world! He is our representative and He brought us with Him through death into resurrection life. His death took away everything that was wrong about us and His resurrection revealed what is right about us. Christ is our inner life, our strength, our holiness, and now we can see and live out of that. We are accepted and we are acceptable. We are right and we are righteous. We are as acceptable to God as Jesus is, because Jesus is our very Life!
A thought: I don't have to try to live up to a standard; I am already accepted and approved by God!
