“His Voice Today”

February 10

🔸️ As the righteous, the privilege of getting closer with Lord God 🔸️

The “atonement” received through Jesus Christ removes the crimes of our past life. But that alone does not make us holy. So we are still ineligible to stand before a Perfect and Holy God! That’s why God had to do something superior for us.

To make us ‘Righteous’ is the means by which he justifies us!

The right meaning for ‘Justification’ is “God credits the righteousness of the Perfect Christ to our account.” As a result, we can stand before God in the same way that Christ can stand before God! This Truth gives us to deep surprise ….. But it’s true!!

It is very amazing surprise, when many Crores of rupees are credited to a beggar’s bank account in his name, as also the truth of the above surprises us!! This poor beggar does not earn or deserve for such a large sum. However, the huge amount was given to him as a free gift.

Therefore, justification means “God accepts us as though we have never sinned at all in our past life and we look like perfect righteous people in our present life!”

Look at the verse of God saying, “Thus we are justified by faith … By faith we have the privilege of receiving this grace through Jesus Christ”(Romans 5:1,2).

Therefore, we now without any hesitation and boldly can enter into the presence of God at all times! Thus God has opened the way for us, to get closer with Him boldly through this way!!

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father! We thank you for the forgiveness of our sins, through Lord Jesus Christ. And we thank you for making us get closer to You by removing the guilt of our sins by making us “righteous”. In the name of Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
