"As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness;
I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness."
I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness."
Psalm 17 verse 15
Through the finished work of the cross we have been made
righteous. When God looks at us, he sees Christ in us, he sees us as the Righteousness
of God.
Before the cross righteousness is demanded, after the cross
righteousness is a free gift.
We have 100 percent, every second, every moment access to
the father, to his presence, to all his riches and his favor.
We are free from guilt and condemnation.
John Crowder explains that our relationship with God is not
based on how we feel but by who we are now in Christ.
“Are you tired of performance-based, emotional roller
coaster type of spirituality, thinking God is happy with you one day and upset
with you the next? Trust in His finished work, not your own efforts. Rest in
the knowledge that you are permanently plugged into heaven, whether you know it
or not, feel it or not. You are basking in permaglory thanks to his work. Don’t
doubt just because you’re not experiencing it. It is first believing that we
experience. Manifestations follow faith.
There is an infinitely sweet satisfaction in beholding His
face. And how does the believer do this? Because the veil of sinfulness has
been removed, we can see Him clearly in the person of Christ.”
