"As He is, so are we in this world." 1 John 4:17 NKJV
When you put your trust in Christ as your Savior, God sees you "in Christ." The words "in Christ" appear no less than seventy-eight times in the New York Testament. When God looks at you, He doesn't see you with all your flaws and imperfections; He sees you in Christ. And since Christ has atoned for all your sins, you are "accepted in the beloved" (Eph 1:6). Having a blessed future is not contingent upon how much you strive to be perfect or how hard you work at changing yourself. it is contingent upon the person of Jesus Christ, and the fact that you are in Christ. The Bible proclaims, "As He is, so are we in this world." You say, "But surely you only get what you deserve?" That's true, unless you are on Christ. Then you get what He deserves! "For He made Him [Jesus] who knew no sin to be for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." (2Co 5:21 NKJV). The word "righteousness" is a legal term. It means "to have right standing before God." Vine's An Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words defines righteousness as "that gracious gift of God to men whereby all who believe on the Lord Jesus are brought into right relationship with God." In other words, your right standing before God is based on Jesus' right standing before God. You should be glad about that. Why? Because the only righteousness that measures up to God's exacting standard of perfection is the righteousness of Christ. And since you are clothes I nHis righteousness, you can be confident of God's acceptance and walk in His blessing each day.
