"For [God] hath made [Jesus] to be sin for us, who knew no sin;
that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." (2 Corinthians
5:21)
When
you were born again, you weren't half-reborn, you weren't made half-righteous
or a quarter righteous. You were made the righteousness of God in Christ!
You were made a "joint-heir with Him." According to Strong's
Concordance that word joint-heir refers to a
personal
equality based on an equality of possession.
Jesus
went to the Cross to give you what He already possessed. He rose again so you
could be recreated in His image. You are the victory of
Almighty
God! You are more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus. You are everything to the
Father that Jesus is. John 17:23 actually says that
God
loves you as much as He loves Jesus.
Once
you dare to accept that fact, your life will forever be changed. You'll no
longer be satisfied to just sit around whining and wishing
things
were different. You'll want to step up to the position of authority that Jesus
has given you, to take your rightful place beside Him and learn to operate the
way He does.
As
His people, we are everything to God that Jesus is. If you'll receive that
message, if you'll dare to believe it, if you'll dare to put it into action, it
will radically alter your life. It will take you from religion to reality!
