Blog Entry 166 of 214 The Daily Devo
My thoughts based upon each day's One Year Bible reading selection.

Righteous
Contributed by: Steve Jones   on 9/1/2008

From the New Testament portion of today's One Year Bible reading:

II Corinthians 5:21
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

How righteous does one have to be in order to go to heaven? Perfectly righteous. Is that good news or bad? Both! It's bad news if one relies on one's own personal righteousness to get there. Our sin disqualifies us. However, it's good news for Christians because when we enter INTO him (Christ) we become the "righteousness of God". You knew that, but it bears repeating. This is one of the verses I like to quote to myself every day while mentally putting on the "breastplate of righteousness."

I pray that today you will strive to be as righteous as God has already given you credit for being. Please pray that for me.
