I have been made righteous through faith. "Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." (Romans 5:1) We are justified through faith in the blood of Jesus. "Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift but as an obligation. However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness." (Romans 4:4-5) You need to first stop trying to make yourself righteous. Stop trying to be a little better. Call a halt to all that. What should we do? Just believe. Is it that simple? If it is not that simple, we will never make it. God makes unrighteous people righteous-that is what the Scripture says, and I believe it. "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God." (2 Corinthians 5:21) Another way to read this verse: God made Jesus, who knew no sin, to be sin for us, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Jesus. Jesus was made sin with our sinfulness so that we might be made righteous with His righteousness. This righteousness is available through faith in His blood. We are made righteous through faith in the blood of Jesus Christ. Say out loud: Thank You, Jesus, for Your sacrifice. I proclaim that righteousness is available through faith in Your blood. I have been made righteous through faith, Amen!
