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!”
