For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. — 2 Corinthians 5:21 KJV
He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. — 2 Corinthians 5:21 NASB
Reflection
We should live in a manner worthy of our calling which reflects the righteousness we have received from above. Let this verse be and inspiration for us so we can love and serve others, and to walk in humility and obedience while we share the good news of reconciliation in this world.
We should therefore embrace our new identity in Christ and to live out the righteousness that has been bestowed upon us. May this truth continually transform our hearts and lead us into a deeper relationship with God.
My Prayer
Heavenly Father, fill me with a deep sense of gratitude and humility. I pray that the reality of Your grace shapes my thoughts, words, and deeds. May I always remember that my worth and identity are found in Christ alone. Empower me to share this message of reconciliation and hope with others so that they too may experience the life-changing power of Your love.
In the name of Jesus, who became sin for us so that we might become the righteousness of God, I pray. Amen.
