"But now a righteousness from God, apart from the law, has been made known , to which the Law and the prophets testify" (Romans 3:21).
Let that verse press in on your soul. Praise God today for His provision! He has made a righteousness known apart from the law! He has made a way for you to be reconciled to Him without list keeping and morality as the means. He has made a way for you to stand unblemished. It is not by your moral efforts but by the efforts of our Savior Jesus Christ.
If your righteousness is your own you can never have peace. You will always be striving trying to make God happy. You can never sit down. You can never enjoy. You must work. You must make sure that your righteousness amounts to something. Although, it never does or can. Your righteousness is filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6). But we do have a high priest that completed His work and sat down (Hebrews 10:12). 'It is finished' was His cry from a cross expressing the completion and finality of it all. The Law and the Prophets all point to Him and say, 'there it is.... this is your life. Satisfy your soul in the work of this God-man. This is where righteousness comes from.'
The more you understand and appreciate the work of Jesus for you, the more whole your life will be. This is what you were made for, experiencing the righteousness of Jesus Christ.
