Meditate On
…all have sinned and fall short of the
glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that
is in Christ Jesus.
Romans 3:23–24
Righteously
Forgiven And Justified
God did not justify and bless us on the
foundation of pity or mercy. He did it on an even higher foundation—the
foundation of undisputed grace and righteousness. He delivered up His Son,
Jesus Christ. On the cross, God made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, so
that we could become the righteousness of God in Him (2 Corinthians 5:21). God
judged Jesus, punishing Him with our punishments, diseases and curses. Jesus
took it all upon Himself and exhausted it all in His person, and cried out, “It
is finished!” (John 19:30).
Jesus paid the ultimate price, so that God
could legally and righteously forgive, justify and bless us. Today, if the
enemy whispers to you, “You deserve to be in this mess because of what you did
last year,” you can boldly declare, “At the cross, Jesus took all the bad that
I deserved and gave me His righteousness and blessings. Because of what He did
for me, my sins are forgiven, I am justified, and I have a blood-bought right
to healing, health, wholeness, provision and success!”
Beloved, if Jesus suffered and died for you
to have all of God’s blessings, believe in His finished work and lay hold of
these blessings! Believe and declare over yourself, “I am forgiven, justified,
healed and abundantly blessed based on the solid foundation of God’s grace and
righteousness!”
