“When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.” Psalms 34:17.
What are we if we don’t have Christ in us? Don’t we have to be righteous enough to reach out to our creator? Christ made it so easy for us and covered us under His blood to receive our righteousness through His obedience. Without His act of grace, we cannot be saved or ever be able to get closer to God by our own actions. Recently I received a cards game name “It’s all about Grace.”
This game includes seven deadly sins and it is impossible to avoid them. If you get one sin card you die. Because the wages of sin is ultimate death. That means for you the game is over. But the good news is, that there’s one thing which can completely save you from sin, that is the Grace Card! Similarly, we can’t do things just by ourselves, so we need the Grace Card to stay in a game. Our grace card is the death and resurrection of Christ.
To be heard and stay closer to God we need Christ in our life so we can be counted as righteous. Today let’s start our day knowing that we are under Christ righteousness and have direct access to God because of what Christ has done for us. Ask whatever you need in His righteousness and believe that whatever you’ve have asked, you shall receive in His righteousness.
