ADVENT-Day 15
From the lowliest of old country churches to the most magnificent of cathedrals, people have worshipped God inside these walls down through the centuries.
Why? I think the main reason can be summed up in the line from Charles Wesley's Come Thou Long Expected Jesus. Because of His Merit!
We could not save ourselves. We needed a Savior and His Merit is All Sufficient.
Because of His merit and because it was all sufficient, it is imputed to us as righteousness if we have faith to believe.
I have listed some scriptures below that emphasize that.
| Ephesians 2:8-9 2 Corinthians 5:21 Philippians 3:9 Isaiah 53:11 Galatians 2:16 Romans 3:22 Romans 1:17 1 Corinthians 1:30 Romans 4:3 Jeremiah 23:6 Romans 4:5 “He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him” C.H. Spurgeon states, “Christ was not guilty, and could not be made guilty; but He was treated as if He were guilty, because He willed to stand in the place of the guilty. Yea, He was not only treated as a sinner, but He was treated as if He had been sin itself in the abstract. This is an amazing utterance. The sinless one was made to be sin.” All because He loved us so much! I pray on this blessed Lord's Day that you choose to dwell on at least one or two of these scriptures and know that God loves you, He sent Jesus to die on the cross for our iniquities. |
