Ephesians 2 v 19 -
So now you Gentiles are no longer strangers
and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God’s holy people. You are
members of God’s family.
Because of Christ’s reconciling work of the
cross, I have a new position in Christ. I am a fellow citizen of heaven with
all of God’s children. I am part of the same household of God and I am now part
of God’s building. I am united by new birth into Christ and I am now
inseparably part of God.
Jesus was raised back to life and made
perfect by his very own blood. The bible says he is the first fruit and the
first born among many brothers. That means that just as he was raised and made
perfect, so too am I when I believed in Him I was “raised and made perfect.
Perfectly righteous, perfectly born-again, perfectly set apart unto him,
perfectly right with God, perfectly permanently and eternally saved.
God never intended for me to be righteous
of myself but, by faith, to enter into the rest of being made his
righteousness. That is why when Jesus walked the earth he fulfilled the six day
covenant on my behalf. He fulfilled the law for me. He did the work. And once
fulfilled he said, “It is finished.” And then laid his head to rest.
He sweated drops of blood from his brow to
break the curse. His body was lashed open for my healing and bled for my
forgiveness. The punishment that was on him was for my peace. He became sin so
I could become his righteousness. He took my poverty so I could receive his
riches. His death was my victory. He is my perfect and complete salvation. I
cannot add anything to it but simply believe it and rest in it.
