RIGHTEOUSNESS MAKES YOU BLAMELESS 9TH JULY

And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your
mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled In the body
of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable
and unreproveable in his sight (Colossians 1:21-22).Did you know
that as a child of God you’re unblameable? It doesn’t matter
who’s pointing fingers at you, God says you’re unblameable!
This is a result of His righteousness that you received. You may
say, “But I’ve made mistakes.” Yes you might have, but you’re
unblameable in God’s sight because Jesus took responsibility for
all the mistakes you’d ever make.To wit, that God was in Christ,
reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses
unto them… (2 Corinthians 5:19). The Bible says that God was in
Christ, reconciling the world – sinners unto himself, not imputing
their trespasses unto them (2 Corinthians 5:19); meaning He’s not
holding their sins against them, because Jesus paid the full penalty
for their sins: “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was
bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon
him: and with his stripes we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5).Now, if the
sinner is not being held accountable for his sins because of the
salvation consummated by Jesus on behalf of mankind, what about
you? Our opening scripture says you that were hitherto alienated
from the life of God has now been reconciled and brought into a
living relationship with the Father through Christ. However, the
latter part lets us know that the reason for the reconciliation is to
present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable before God.
Christ has qualified you to stand in the presence of God, without
inferiority, guilt or condemnation. As far as God is concerned, you’re
without blemish and free from all accusation: you’re holy, blameless
and beyond reproach. Men may blame you, scorn you for your errors
and look at you as unholy, but God says, you’re holy, flawless, perfect
and impossible to fault in His sight!This is the result of His righteousness
in you – His rightness, perfection, precision and correctness – in your life.
ConfessionDear Father, thank you for giving me your righteousness that
makes me unblameable and unreproveable in your sight. I display your
perfection and correctness in all my affairs today as I walk in the
consciousness of this reality, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
