Who you are in Christ.#16

Who I am in Christ that we look at today is hard for us sinners to grasp sometimes. But we must realize who are in Christ after being saved from our sins not what we were before Jesus! 

In Christ I am righteous and holy! 

That’s right, when we are followers of Jesus awe are righteous and holy in the eyes of God, if this was not true we could never go to heaven and be in God’s presence for He is Holy! Look at this verse:

Ephesians 4:24 and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

The new man we put on is Christ. He is righteous and holy. This also brings to mind the importance of keeping our sin confessed up to God when we fail. Strive for perfection but when we do sin confess it because God is faithful and just to forgive as it says in 1 John 1:9.

So this morning we see we are righteous and holy all because of the shed blood of Jesus. Give Jesus some praise this morning and live for Him! Glorify His name!
