For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him (2 Corinthians 5:21).
The Apostle Paul, by the Spirit, unveils one of the most extraordinary revelations in Scripture: God made Jesus, who knew no sin, to be sin for us so that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. Remarkable! Jesus wasn’t made a sin offering or a sin sacrifice in a figurative sense; rather, He was made sin itself. On the cross, He became the very embodiment of sin.
This is much more than He being declared sinless by God; it conveys something deeper: Jesus had a consciousness of His own sinlessness. He was sinlessness-conscious. He lived with the awareness that there was no trace of sin in Him.
This is why righteousness consciousness is so vital. If the Lord Jesus lived with a consciousness of His sinlessness, then as His righteousness, you must live with a consciousness of your righteousness in Him. He didn’t just make you righteous, He made you the righteousness of God. You’ve become the very expression of God’s righteousness. You’re His righteousness, walking and talking, in human flesh.
When you understand this, it changes the way you live. You’ll no longer see yourself as a forgiven sinner but as a bona fide child of God living out His perfection, His purity and His glory in this world. This is more than a legal standing; it’s your vital reality. He said in Isaiah 54:17, “…their righteousness is of me….”
No wonder Paul said in Philippians 3:8-9, “…that I may win Christ, And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.” Be ever conscious of your righteousness in Him. That consciousness gives you boldness in life and dominion over adversities.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the revelation of my righteousness in Christ. I live every day with the consciousness that I’m your righteousness, holy, blameless and justified. I walk in dominion, manifesting your nature and fulfilling your perfect will for my life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
