Rooted in Your True Identityنموونە

Righteous in Christ

Even after many years as a pastor, I find myself still apologizing, repenting, and receiving correction. I’m grateful for the righteousness of Christ because Jesus is perfect, and I am definitely not! In Him, we are more than forgiven; we are declared righteous. He became sin so that we could be made right with God. That’s why we can live not in fear but in power, love, and self-control. Our identity is not based on our record but on Christ’s perfection.

Quote (John Piper): “Christ did not die to forgive sinners who go on treasuring anything above seeing and savoring God.”

Respond to God’s Word: Reflect on where fear or self-doubt creeps into your life. Declare instead that you are righteous and empowered in Christ.
