The Great Exchange
by Sheila Weddle
"For He (God) made Him (Jesus) who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness (right-standing) of God in Him (Christ Jesus)." - 2 Corinthians 5:21
God loves you and sees you as the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Your prayers can be prayed with confidence and your life can be victorious.
I call this the Great Exchange! When we ask Jesus to come into our hearts and our sins are forgiven, He exchanges our sin with his righteousness.
What does righteousness mean? Right-standing with God means "with no sense of guilt, shame or condemnation". The devil does not want you to know that you are the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
You are not an old sinner! You are in right-standing with God. Begin to see the real you - your spirit in Christ Jesus. For you have no more shame, guilt, or condemnation. Jesus Christ gave you His Righteousness for your sin - that's the Great Exchange!
To the Glory of God,
