God sees you with no flaw, spot or imperfection, so honor His Word and the finished work of His Son by saying, “Amen!” Don’t doubt your perfection in Christ.
To see yourself as being far from perfect is not modesty, but a failure to understand the perfect sacrifice that Jesus has made for you.
The Bible tells us, “For by one offering He hath perfected forever them that are sanctified.” Did you get that? You have not only been sanctified, that is, made holy, but by the same offering of His body, you have been perfected. You are both holy and perfect in God’s eyes!
Your sins have been purged perfectly. Today, Jesus is seated at His Father’s right hand not because He is the Son of God (although that is true), but because His work of purging your sins is completely finished and perfect!
So instead of being conscious of your sins, which is to have an evil conscience (see Hebrews 10:22), you can have a perfect conscience, a conscience that is free from the guilt and condemnation of sins.
When you find yourself conscious of your sins, just say, “Thank You, Lord Jesus, for Your wonderful work at the cross. It is a perfect work that has removed all my sins completely.
“Holy Spirit, thank You for convicting me of righteousness, not my own, but God’s righteousness given to me as a gift. Keep on convicting me in the days to come, reminding me especially when I fail that I am still the righteousness of God in Christ.”
My friend, God sees you perfect without any spot of sin. He sees you covered in the beautiful white robes of His own righteousness. He treats you as a righteous man because that is what He has made you. So expect good things to happen to you because blessings are on the head of the righteous (see Proverbs 10:6)!
"I'M HERE TO TELL YOU" EDITOR'S NOTE
Can all that be true. It's way too good to be true, yet that is Christianity. That's the gospel or good news. When somebody says gospel, that's what they are talking about. The fact that we are the righteousness of God through Jesus Christ. When Jesus took our sins to the cross, and died, that changed everything. It's truly hard to believe that a wretch like me was saved through God's amazing grace. Listen to that song sometime and weep. It's by the grace of God that He sent His Son to be our substitute and pay the full price of our judgment. Once we've been freed from judgment, we are free indeed. It truly is too much to take it but it's the truth.Today, drop to your knees and tell God what you've always thought. That your not good enough to be saved and that you don't deserve His grace and that you can't believe this good news. Then listen quietly for His response when He tells you - you better believe it, baby!
