For the righteous requirement of the law was fulfilled in Christ. That God's demand of holiness, of perfection, of spotlessness, was met in the perfect, spotless lamb of God, Jesus of Nazareth. Alleluia. Christ, your humility, your obedience, I pray that you'd create such in my rebellious, lustful heart. Thank you for getting torn in two at the cross. I have no shot if I'm banking on me. Thank You for showing me that if not for your mercy, I am hopeless. Thank you for granting me a righteousness not of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ. Thank you Jesus for being my righteousness.
My debt has been paid! And not only is my record paid in full but it is replaced with a perfect one. For this I am grateful. Increase my joy in You Father. You orchestrate all of this so well. Glorify Your magnificent name. Magnify the riches of Your worth. Create in us new hearts. Write the law on them. Create a heart of worship. Praise be to Your holy name.
It was an interesting week in DC for christmas week, but God read this over me:
"For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life."
-Titus 3:3-7
This saying is trustworthy. Praise Christ.
I beg You Holy Spirit, renew some that are at this moment in bondage to what they're told will satisfy, absolve, and redeem. They need You to wake them, to resurrect them from the dead. Jesus be our treasure. To know you is to live. I pray they'd choose to live. For the glory of Your holy and precious name, Amen.
