You are a new creation. The moment you made Jesus The LORD of your life, you, not your mind or your body, were re-created. Old things passed away, and all things in you became new, and all things are of God. That is the wonder of the new birth. Verse 21 is the most wonderful thing one can imagine! He, Jesus, who knew no sin, was MADE to be sin for us that we might be MADE the righteousness of God in Him! Did Jesus ever commit sin? No. Did you or I ever commit righteousness? No. Isaiah 64:6 declares that all our righteousness is as filthy rags. And Romans 3:10 says: 10 AS IT IS WRITTEN, THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NO, NOT ONE. Here is someone who should have, by this time, become a teacher. But because of being dull of hearing, he was still a spiritual baby. What does dull of hearing mean? It means he was not listening. Too busy. No time for The WORD. What WORD? The WORD of righteousness! Now we are at the root cause of why bad things happen to wonderful, Spirit-filled people who love God. I'm not just talking about you. I've been guilty of the same thing. LET'S LOOK, NOW, AT THE GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. REMEMBER ROMANS 3:10? Jesus was MADE to be sin with our sin, and we were MADE to be righteous with His righteousness. The key word here is MADE. In our case, as believers, one moment we were "sin," and the next moment we became the righteousness of God in Him. He, Jesus, at that moment, moved into our spirits and thereby took up residence in our physical bodies. Then it became necessary to renew our minds with The WORD of righteousness. Let's look at Hebrews 5:12-13: 12 FOR WHEN FOR THE TIME YE OUGHT TO BE TEACHERS, YE HAVE NEED THAT ONE TEACH YOU AGAIN WHICH BE THE FIRST PRINCIPLES OF THE ORACLES OF GOD; AND ARE BECOME SUCH AS HAVE NEED OF MILK, AND NOT OF STRONG MEAT. 13 FOR EVERY ONE THAT USETH MILK IS UNSKILFUL IN THE WORD OF RIGHTEOUSNESS: FOR HE IS A BABE. 10 AS IT IS WRITTEN, THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NO, NOT ONE. THAT'S THE PROBLEM. NOW, LET'S LOOK AT THE GLORIOUS, WONDERFUL, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ANSWER IN VERSES 21-22!: 21 BUT NOW THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD WITHOUT THE LAW IS MANIFESTED, BEING WITNESSED BY THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS; 22 EVEN THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD WHICH IS BY FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST UNTO ALL AND UPON ALL THEM THAT BELIEVE: FOR THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE. Wow! Faith! Yes, faith. Go on reading through verse 27: 23 FOR ALL HAVE SINNED, AND COME SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD; 24 BEING JUSTIFIED FREELY BY HIS GRACE THROUGH THE REDEMPTION THAT IS IN CHRIST JESUS:
