God sees you with no flaw, spot or imperfection, so honour His
Word and the finished work of His Son by saying, “Amen!” Don’t doubt your
perfection in Christ.
To see yourself as being far from perfect is not modesty, but a failure to
understand the perfect sacrifice that Jesus has made for you.
The Bible tells us, “For by one offering He hath perfected forever them that
are sanctified.” Did you get that? You have not only been sanctified, that is,
made holy, but by the same offering of His body, you have been perfected. You
are both holy and perfect in God’s eyes!
Your sins have been purged perfectly. Today, Jesus is seated at His Father’s
right hand not because He is the Son of God (although that is true), but
because His work of purging your sins is completely finished and perfect!
So instead of being conscious of your sins, which is to have an evil conscience
(see Hebrews 10:22), you can have a perfect conscience, a conscience that is
free from the guilt and condemnation of sins.
When you find yourself conscious of your sins, just say, “Thank You, Lord
Jesus, for Your wonderful work at the cross. It is a perfect work that has
removed all my sins completely.
“Holy Spirit, thank You for convicting me of righteousness, not my own, but
God’s righteousness given to me as a gift. Keep on convicting me in the days to
come, reminding me especially when I fail that I am still the righteousness of
God in Christ.”
My friend, God sees you perfect without any spot of sin. He sees you covered in
the beautiful white robes of His own righteousness. He treats you as a
righteous man because that is what He has made you. So expect good things to
happen to you because blessings are on the head of the righteous (see Proverbs
10:6)! (Article and Picture; courtesy of Joseph Prince Ministries used
