WEAR MY ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
with ease, I custom-made it for you, to cover you from
head to toe. The price I paid for this covering was
astronomical- My own blood. You could never
purchase such a royal garment, no matter how hard you
worked. Sometimes you forget that My righteousness
is a gift, and you feel ill at ease in your regal robe. I
weep when I see you squirming under the velvety
fabric, as if it were made of scratchy sackcloth.
I want you to trust Me enough to realize your
privileged position in My kingdom. Relax in the
luxuriant folds of your magnificent robe. Keep your eyes
on Me, as you practice walking in this garment of
righteousness. When your behavior is unfitting for
one in My kingdom, do not try to throw off your royal
robe. Instead, throw off the unrighteous behavior.
Then you will feel at ease in this glorious garment,
enjoying the gift I fashioned for you before the
foundation of the world.
I am overwhelmed with joy in the LORD my God! For he has dressed me with the clothing of salvation and draped me in a robe of righteousness. I am life a bridegroom in his wedding suit or a bride with her jewels. -Isaiah 61:10
For God made Christ, who never sinner, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with the God through Christ. -2nd Corinthians 5:21
Throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God- truly righteous and holy. -Ephesians 4:22-24
