“Living By God’s Righteousness”
Philippians 3:9; II Corinthians 5:14
Can we not find full gratitude of mind and heart that we are granted the right and privilege to live for Christ? How that we can openly love and serve Him, seeing we are saved by all that He has done for us in His finished work. And that we are proud proclaimers of it.
Christ is perfect righteousness, and that brings to each believer, though some are weak, and many are cold, to be able to claim His righteousness in us, and He is our only hope of calmness, holy quietness, peace and contentment. We are made perfect only in Christ, “we are not our own, but we are bought with a price”. Divine Grace is our main stay because Jesus is made our righteousness. Distresses may infirm me and bring on affliction, and Satan brings on wave after wave of assaults, and we will endure many hard-life experiences before we lift off of this mud-ball called earth; But Grace, His Grace, will lead me on. John 19:30 says, “It is finished”, that means that nothing is lacking, nothing wanting in the Lord, all has been done, His death, burial and resurrection accomplished it all. I can have joy unspeakable and full of glory and rejoice down in my soul and shout from the pulpit, the valley and the mountain top; “I am complete in Him!”
No matter how unworthy we get, we still belong to Him, no matter how weak, He paid the price for our salvation. I can rest in His strength, His ability and His love.
“But He”
It is not I, that lives this life,
But He that lives within.
I cannot boast of anything,
But He that forgives my sins.
