June 3, 2009 - II Corinthians 5

What a key verse for us. II Corinthians 5:21 is one we should all know. God is completely righteous and the only way we can have a relationship with Him is to be completely righteous ourselves. We know well that is simply not possible. We blew that possibility a long time ago But this is where God shows the full extent of His love for us. He 'made him who had no sin' (Jesus), 'to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God'. God trades us our sin for his righteousness, through Jesus. What a deal! We could never make a better trade. That is the kind of deal that you tell everyone about.
