Corinthians 5:21
For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who
knew no sin; that we might be made the righteous of God in Him.
Let
us take an in-depth look at our scripture and analyze the "He",
"Him" and "us" in today's topical discussion. The
"He" is God the Father and the "Him" is Jesus Christ our
Savior and the "us" is all humanity. For mankind to be made righteous
we have to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. The work of God the
Father and God the Son encompasses John 3:16 because it includes everyone, but
to receive salvation one must believe.
With
that being said, let's look at the love that was on display in that Jesus
Christ took on the sins of the world so that all who believe would be made
righteous in Him so that when God looks on all believers He sees the
righteousness of His Son. Another school of thought is that Jesus Christ
willingly gave up His seat in heaven to come to earth as man and be subjected
to human limitations and humiliation for mankind knowing that He would have to
sacrifice His life in order to meet God's requirements in providing salvation.
Given
what God and His Son done for all believers is worthy of all songs of praise,
worship and thanksgiving as a way of saying "Lord, I thank You for making
me righteous through Your Son's shed blood."
Believers,
we are the righteous of God through Jesus Christ.
