In wilderness, he was serpent to get them sanctified.
He paid for my sin as a lamb.
He became my sin as a serpent.
He redeemed me as a lamb.
He made me righteous as a serpent.
2 Corinthians 5:21
Jesus didn’t become sin by sinning, so you don’t become righteous by right deeds.
I become righteous the same way Jesus became sin!
Human righteousness is filthy rags “the cloths a woman uses during her menstrual period” Isaiah 64:6
It’s a weapon (Eph.6:14) against condemnation of the heart (1 John 3:19-21). If our heart condemns us, God is bigger than our heart. Our heart only takes our actions into consideration, excluding the cross of Jesus.
Promises for the Righteous:
Blessed are the hungry for it (Mt.5:6)
Things added o those who seek His (Mt.6:33)
Bold as lion (Prov.28:1)
God delivers (Ps.34:19)
Gets up (Prov.24:16)
Not shaken (Ps.112:6), not forsaken (Ps.37:25).
Reign in life (Rom.5:17)
God looks at me based on what I wearing not what I have done!
Jacob wore brothers clothes and received blessing by lying...voice was different, but clothes were same!
Change does not happen by works but by looking!
Faith is gaze of the soul upon the crucified One!
Don't try to fix your life. Adam no need for fig leaves,
Zacharias could not grow taller, but he became taller by climbing on the tree!
By punishing yourself you don't please God, you irritate God!
