Friday – 23/3/17

He made Christ who knew no sin to [judicially] be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we would become the righteousness of God [that is, we would be made acceptable to Him and placed in a right relationship with Him by His gracious lovingkindness]. (‭‭2 Cor ‭5:21‬) How many of us believe that the successful are always tempted to regard their success as a reward for righteousness? Whereas GOD lets us know that righteousness is the result of intimacy. Trust. Love. Abraham didn’t focus on his own impotence and say, “It’s hopeless. This hundred-year-old body could never father a child.” Nor did he survey Sarah’s decades of infertility and give up. He didn’t tiptoe around God’s promise asking cautiously skeptical questions. He plunged into the promise and came up strong, ready for God, sure that God would make good on what he had said. That’s why it is said, “Abraham was declared fit before God by trusting God to set him right!” (Rom‬ ‭4:20) Peace to you, Righteous Child of the Living GOD. X
