Our performance will always fall short of God’s holy requirements. But what we can never do for ourselves Jesus did for us. By living a sinless life, He fully satisfied all the requirements of God’s holy law; something we could never do. When we trust Him alone for our salvation, He imputes His perfect righteousness to us. According to 2 Corinthians 5:21 (KJV), “[God] hath made him [Jesus] to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
“For just as through the disobedience of the one man [Adam] the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man [Jesus] the many will be made righteous.”
— Romans 5:19 (NIV)
Thank You, Lord, for sharing Your righteousness with us. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
