It is overwhelming and humbling when we, shortcomings and all, finally realize the reality that as believers, God sees us through Jesus’s sacrifice.  We are made righteous the moment we accept that Jesus died for our sins to forever be our connection to the Father so that He, in all His holiness, can convene with us.  Bask in God’s amazing plan and enjoy the liberty of speaking directly to our Father, unashamed.

Romans 5:  17For if by one man’s offense death reigned by one; much more they who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 19For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 20Moreover the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 21That as sin has reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
