How many times in our lives have we sinned?Just think. There are 365 days in a year. Multiply that by the number of years you have lived, and then multiply the result by how many times you merely think you sin per day. And anyone would dare say they can stand justified before God without the blood of Christ covering them? Even as we despair over our sins we risk the danger of being self-righteous. We think we should be righteous within ourselves and we butt our heads against a wall wondering why we can’t live sinlessly in sinful flesh.The Lord does everything He can to help us see that we are not righteous within ourselves. That’s why He died for us; that’s why He had to save us more from our flesh than from the world and the Devil. And so by faith we come to the place where we are accepted in the Beloved; we are accepted in Christ. We now have imputed righteousness.
Read it! Freedom in Christ
