Jesus Christ, you are the very likeness and image of the invisible God. All things are created by you and for you. You are before and over all things. You are the beginning; the first to overcome death. You have Lordship over all things. You are the very essence and fullness of God.
I am made righteous through your body; being made holy and without imperfection or recourse. You have made me righteous before God.
Who am I Lord that you have done such a wonderful thing for me? You have made me rightwous in my sin. That is exactly the point; it is in your action throughyour saving grace that you have made me whole. It has nothing to do with my own efforts and doing. There is nothing I can do to earn my righteousness.
“Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham. Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.” So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.” (Galatians 3:7-9)
