We Could Be Made Right
11:26 AM“For God, made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:21, LASB).
Christ was born to free us from sin and made us worthy to be with God.
We are loved by God. He wanted us all to be with Him. Through the birth of Christ, his death and resurrection, his existence of being pure and righteousness our sins have been taken away and we are given another chance.
The scripture does not say to us that since Christ had been sacrificed to take away our sins that whatever we do to commit sin today and tomorrow is acceptable and that we are still going to be with God. But what it tells us from the phrase "so that we could be made right with God through Christ" is that Christ's existence makes us aware of what should be done in order for us to be acceptable and worthy to be with God. Through Christ we know what is the right thing to do. Through Christ we know the right path to which we should walk on. Through Christ we know how we should live our lives.
It's never easy when all we knew from the start was to do whatever we like not thinking that it can be right or wrong. But what is important is that when we already know Christ we are able to recognize what is right and wrong. We have that kind of discernment to do things acceptable to God. Although at times the enemy attacks are strong, through Christ who strengthen us, we can overcome them. Maybe not as fast but what is good is that we are learning and improving every single time we encounter those situations. Every step is a new opportunity to be better and soon we will be "right" and be worthy to be with God.
We can do this!
