Daily Devotional: May 10 – Jesus Our Righteousness

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy and truth go before Your face – Psalm 89:14

Without Christ, no one is righteous. Without Christ, the justice we deserve is death. But though we are not righteous and deserve death for our sins, because of Christ and despite our sins, we no longer have to fear death, for Christ has become our righteousness, and justice for our sins have been done on Him through His death on the cross. God is merciful to us because of Christ; we have no reason to be afraid of God because of Christ; we don’t have to worry about whether we measure up because of Christ. How wonderful it is to be counted amongst those who know Him. And how frightful it is for those who do not know Him. The foundation of His throne is this incredible love that made Him take on the death sentence we deserve and give us the righteousness we do not deserve. Is there anyone you can introduce to Jesus today? Is there anyone you know that can benefit from His love?

I do not have to be afraid because I know and I am known by Jesus
