Jesus Christ has become your righteousness. That's why in Christianity, we don't walk in our righteousness; rather, we declare and boldly affirm that He's become our righteousness. We stand in the presence of God with the righteousness of Jesus Christ; and we walk in the light of that righteousness.

 

It's like hiding in His glory or being covered in His glory; you're not seen. It's His light that's seen; it's His glory that's seen. It's His power that's made manifest, as you walk in His righteousness. His own righteousness is what's demonstrated in your life. That's Christianity. It's a walk in His righteousness.

 

2 Corinthians 5:21 tells us, "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." Now, you've become a demonstrator of His righteousness, because

 

He manifests His righteousness through you! He's the righteousness of the one who believes in Jesus.

 

It's part of what we affirm when we take the Holy Communion. He said in 1 Corinthians 11:26, "For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come." His death, burial, and resurrection resulted in our justification. He took our place of sin, and gave us His righteousness. This is an amazing reality!
