Hello and welcome to Living Supernaturally. We hope you are enjoying these times together as we study the word of God and apply it daily in our lives. Today, we are looking at the cross and the greatest exchange that was made and what the Lord Jesus is extending for us in place of something that is wrong, we could be suffering from and that is the great exchange. The Lord is extending something that is good for entire humanity in place of something that we could be weighed down and suffering from. We are going to look at this gift that is being offered to us which is righteousness in place of sin. When we look at this great exchange offer that is being extended to us, we need to understand that this is offered to us purely because of grace and we have access to it by grace through faith. When we look at this gift of righteousness, 2 Corinthians chapter 5, verse 21 says this, ‘For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.’ Entire humanity being separated for God was under the sway of the enemy and there was no right standing with God or no right relationship with God and no righteousness as a nature in man. So, the Lord Jesus did something amazing for us on the cross and He made this great exchange possible. This becomes effective in our lives when we receive it by grace and through faith. This is what the word of God talks about unrighteousness and sin. Sin separates us from God, distances us from the source of life and everything that is good. Sin also brings us into bondage which means it brings us into imprisonment. People think they are free to go and live as they want to live, to say that I have the freedom to do anything I want but actually sin step by step takes us into imprisonment. Sin also hardens our heart to the things of God. We might enjoy the presence of God, the things of God and fellowship with God’s people as a believer and follower of the Lord Jesus but sin progressively hardens us to the things of God, where we find that the things of God, time in His word, or things of the Spirit, we don’t enjoy it anymore because our heart is hardened to it, we are not softened/ open to those things anymore. Sin also corrupts and brings decay and destruction into our lives. There is this progressive decay and corruption into our life. So, everything that is good gets corrupted and there is decay and destruction at the end. When we look at righteousness, it is the very nature of God. He is holy, pure and righteous. We see that the Lord Jesus on the cross brings this great exchange and He offers it freely for us. We have not earned it but it is freely given to us. Shall we pray, Father, we thank you for this great gift of righteousness. We thank you that you have clothed us with the righteousness of Jesus Himself and this is available freely even as we confess our sins and come right with you. We thank you for this gift of righteousness and may we walk in righteousness daily and not just for a season, in Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
