The Complete Devotional With Josh NormanNäide

The Righteousness of Christ

Imagine someone taking on another’s debt so they can be free. This act of selfless love and sacrifice brings liberation and a new start. Christ became sin for us so that we might become the righteousness of God, giving us a new identity in Him. This means that our sins are forgiven, and we are made right with God, not because of our own efforts but because of Jesus’ sacrifice. This profound exchange changes our standing before God and transforms our lives.

Practical Application: Reflect on the righteousness you have in Christ. Thank Him for taking your place and giving you His righteousness, and live out your new identity in Him.
