Devotion 5/31, He Paid it All
It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God — that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 1 Corinthians 1:30
All that we are and have comes from God.
First of all we have access to His wisdom. I pray for wisdom from God and His Word nearly every day.
Secondly, He is our righteousness. Through faith in Christ we are declared righteous before our holy God.
Thirdly, He is our holiness. In ourselves we have nothing, no personal holiness at all. But in Him we are positionally sanctified or set apart for Him!
And finally, He is our redemption. We are redeemed to God through the precious blood of Christ.
God arranged it that all these blessings come from Him, so why would we boast in anything of ourselves, we had nothing to do with it, it is all Christ Jesus and HIS work on the cross for us! As we walk our faith journey today, let us be reminded, for a child of God everything begins and ends at the cross.
Thank You Father God for sending Jesus to atone for my sins and redeem me to You! I pray that my life shows You in all I say and do is for Your Glory Abba. Amen!
