2 Corinthians 5; Romans 3

Lord Jesus, I know you died for me, and you rose again. Your love compels me to live no longer for myself, but to live for you.

You dwell in me now in the person of your Holy Spirit. You have given me a new heart that is sincerely yours. I am in Christ, and I am a new creature. My old fleshy ways are passed away, behold everything in my life is new.

Now everything about me that counts is of God, our father. He has reconciled me to himself through you, Lord Jesus, and has prepared me to be used by him in the ongoing ministry of reconciliation, which is God in you, Lord Jesus, reconciling the world to himself.

So, I am now an ambassador of Christ Jesus. I am the very righteousness of God because you, Lord Jesus, who knew no sin, paid for my sins (past, present, and future). Now I see, and with thanksgiving receive a righteousness of God apart from deeds of the law.

It is the Father’s divine declared righteousness given me and all who believe, by his grace, through faith in you, Lord Jesus.
