Found in Him

...That I may gain Christ and be found in Him...
righteous....

Found in Him--righteous.  I cannot be righteous
if I am not IN HIM. But when I am IN HIM, I
cannot be unrighteous. My standing in Him is not
related to my behavior or the keeping of the law.

Dearest Papa, I am righteous because I am in
Christ. You do not see me through a screen,
but you see me as I really am--in Christ. I
embrace my righteousness that is apart from
anything I do for You. I also embrace my
humaness and thank You for it.

Reader, are you struggling with what it
means to be a saint, a holy one? Paul called
the Corinthian Church, 'saints.' Check it
out. I Corinthians 1:2. Pretty awesome!
