We all fall short of the glory of God. We need a righteousness that is better than our own. The righteousness that we need is that of Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ is the One who fulfills the prophecy written in the Book of Jeremiah.
“Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord, ‘That I will raise to David a Branch of righteousness; a King shall reign and prosper, and execute judgment and righteousness in the earth. In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell safely; now this is His name by which He will be called: THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.’” [1]
“Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” [2]
We receive the righteousness of Christ imputed to us when we believe in Him. Praise the Lord!
[1] Jeremiah 23:5-6
[2] 2 Corinthians 5:20-21
Bearing witness to the Word of God and to the testimony of Jesus!
