“YOU ARE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD”

2 Cor 5:21 (NIV)

“God made him who had NO sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”

When we get born in this world, we are all born with sin. Even a little 1 day old baby has sin!

“Well Sam, he hasn’t done anything yet! That’s unfair!”
Listen friend, there is a difference between Sin(nature) and sins(actions).
People don’t become sinners when they sin, they sin because they are already sinners! They already have the nature!
Guess what, Jesus didn’t have this nature! He had no sin! Why?  He wasn’t born by the sperm of man! He was born of God!

Mathew I:18

This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.

He was pure! But because of LOVE, God put all your sins(actions) on Jesus! Now someone who never sinned was made to carry sin!

When you believe in Jesus, you have no sins(actions) to pay for! God sees you as faultless! You have never sinned! Jesus took your sins and you received his righteousness! Righteousness means being RIGHT in the eyes of God!
Friend, Jesus took your past, present and future sins! Even if u commit a sin tomorrow, you won’t need another cross! The cross has taken care of that too! You are forever right in Gods eyes!

“SO MUCH LOVED”

John 3:16

“For God so Loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

Do you know that God doesn’t just love u…he SO loves u!  When he lost you to sin, he decided to give his best to get u! God could have abandoned us and went to create another human race in another planet, but he chose to stick to us.  We disobeyed, blasphemed, lived perversely and even mocked God, but he chose to stick.

Jesus wasn’t killed at the cross, he gave up his life. He had the power to end the life of everyone against him! Remember when they went to pick him with Judas?

The bible records that his words made them fall on the ground! (John 18:6)

When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.

‘SEE JESUS’

Numbers 21:4-9 (NIV)

⁶ Then the Lord sent venomous snakes among them; they bit the people and many Israelites died. ⁷ The people came to Moses and said, “We sinned when we spoke against the Lord and against you. Pray that the Lord will take the snakes away from us.” So Moses prayed for the people.

⁸ The Lord said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.” ⁹ So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived.

In this portion of scripture, the Israelites spoke against God and Moses. So God sent venomous serpents among them leading to the death of many Israelites. The ones still alive came to Moses confessing their sin and asked him to pray that God may take the snakes away.

Through the instructions he got in prayer, Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Anyone who was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake lived! By looking at the snake, the venom didn’t harm them
