Righteous before God

But how can a man be righteous before God?
Job 9:2

Righteous before God
Many individuals are convinced that they belong to “the good people” of this world. When they compare themselves with others, they come off much better – or so they think.

But the important question that each of us has to answer puts the matter in a different light: What does God think of me? Of course, I can persuade myself that there is no God, or that I will never need to have anything to do with Him. But am I deeply convinced of this in my heart? What if I actually have to meet God? Will I be able to stand before Him?

The Bible tells me that God is holy and must punish wrongs committed (Romans 1:18). But from the Bible I also learn about God’s love. He sent His Son to earth as Saviour so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16).

Jesus Christ died on the cross so that the problem of my guilt before God could be solved. He laid down His life as a sacrifice to God for my sins. I can personally claim this and come to God with a confession of my sins. Then He forgives me and declares me free from my guilt.

As a result, I am righteous before God. What the Apostle Paul declares in Romans 5:1 applies to me: “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Today’s reading: Nehemiah 2:1-8 · Proverbs 10:22-32

Although it is an unpleasant experience to be a defeated contender, becoming an ex-champion is a much more grievous experience.
