"All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away..." Isaiah 64:6.
I chose this picture...Well, b/c it is disgustingly ugly... Just like my heart. Sad analogy. hahahaha. I am just trying to have a pic with all my posts.
My righteousness is like a filthy rag...It's useless...Gross...Smells bad...Not a pretty sight.
"You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you." Psalm 16:2.
I am covered in dirt without His righteousness. I am dead in sin without Him.
With HIM, I am the BRIDE of Christ, alive and able to breathe. Beautiful and without blemish in His sight...
How in tha world does that even happen?
GRACE. Sweet Jesus' GRACE allows me to wear a beautiful white, flowing dress every day. His righteousness allows me to come before ABBA without fear.
"My old self has been crucified with Christ.It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not treat the GRACE of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die..." Galatians 2:20-21.
Today, I am thankful for His GRACE.
I WILL NOT TREAT THE GRACE OF GOD AS MEANINGLESS...
