What makes us Holy? God does say, be holy, like I am Holy. (Rom 3:20) No flesh is justified by the Law. We cannot make ourselves holy, there is no obedience to the Law that will justify us. Not only does the Bible say, be holy, like I am Holy, Jesus himself said we must be perfect, as our heavenly Father is perfect. We are all sinners, for it does say all have sinned. We all fall short of the glory of God. So, the question we should be asking is, how do we become Holy, how do we become perfect.
The Gospel message is simple, it is hard for man to grasp its simplicity. We often look to ourselves, there must be something I can do. Yet, no flesh shall please the Lord. We cannot be like God, as Eve thought. Our perfection, our holiness is going to have to come by God, and him alone. As Christ said, with man it is impossible, with God nothing is impossible.
(1 pet 1:13) tells us God’s grace is the revelation of Christ unto us. (Eph 2:8) By God’s grace, He has given us faith in Christ to be saved. So how does God make us holy, like he is holy? (Is 53:11) says the righteous one (Jesus) makes many to be accounted righteous. It is Christ’s righteousness that makes us holy.
(2 Cor 5:21) We are made holy by Christ. We become the righteousness of God. By Christ alone, through faith in His passion. It is true that the righteous shall live by faith. That faith is in Christ. As we believe the good news, Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, He was buried, and He rose the third day, according to the scriptures. (1 Pet 2:24) Christ bore our sins, we are dead to our sins. We live in Christ’s righteousness. We have been healed by His stripes. We have become white as snow.
As (Jer 51:10) says, the Lord hath brought forth our righteousness (Christ)! We are to go throughout the world and proclaim His Gospel. We will call Him, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS! (Jer 23:6 and Jer 33:6). On my own, I have no righteousness. Without Jesus, I will die in my sins. (Philippians 3:9) Christ, who knew no sin, became sin for us. In Him, we become the righteousness of God (2 Cor 5:22). Christ has washed us clean. In Christ, we have become holy, like he is Holy.
God’s righteousness is by faith in Christ unto all that believe (Rom 3:22). Jesus answered and said unto them, this is the work of God. That ye believe on Him that He hath sent (John 6:29). We are Justified without the Law (Rom 3:28). God’s grace justifies us through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, (Rom 3:24). It is God that justifies us, it is God that makes us Holy.
I am crucified with Christ, it is no longer I that live, but Christ who lives in me. I have been reborn, in Christ. No longer under the Law, the law has taught me well. I am a wretched man, in need of a Deliverer. Our redeemers passion is sufficient, God’s grace is sufficient!
Notice it is Christ that has become our WISDOM, our RIGHTESOUSNESS, our SANCTIFICATION, and our REDEMTION. 1 Cor 1:30.
