The Mystery Of Faith

 

Today's verse is Philippians 3:9

And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 

    Here is a great mystery, and one missed by most, but available to all. When Cain offered the fruits of the field, he offered of his own labor. What was the basis of Abel’s Sacrifice? If you can understand this, then you can understand the verse above. For there are none that are innocent, there are none that have not transgressed. The best we have to offer God is but vanity and vapor before a Righteous and Holy God; therefore, God who is Good and merciful provided us a way, where truly there was no way, and made himself sin for us, that the Righteousness of God might be found in us Through Him. The law, which is good, shews us we are guilty, but Jesus Christ fulfilled that Law, that all that look to him, taking him at his Word, shall be found before God cleansed of all unrighteousness. Amen.

To God be the Glory
