Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. 1 John 4:17

Beloved, we were created in God’s image and likeness. He made the first Adam from the dust, “blew into his nostrils the breath of life and Man became alive—a living soul!” (Genesis 2:7). But because of unbelief (in God’s word), man was spiritually disconnected from God.

But thank God for Jesus, our last Adam (1st Corinthians 15:45). He brought us back into sonship on better promises, in a better covenant. These promises speak of our righteousness rather than condemnation (Hebrews 8:6). We are sitted with Christ in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6) and we are just like Him in this world. As God’s “alikes”, sin has no hold over us, because His grace holds us strong.

As sons, we have dominion over all things including sin (Galatians 3:25-27), for we have put on Christ. Beloved, do not always put your faults before you. Instead, continually stare into the mirror of righteousness that God Himself has made you.

Prayer: Father I believe Your word above all else. I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
