I love the image of the breastplate of righteousness – not my picture on it, but Christ’s, and the cross, covering me, keeping in mind that Neil said two days ago that this breastplate was put on me at the moment of salvation. There’s nothing I did to put it there, and I can’t take it off.
It’s something I need to live by, though, which means two
things: I choose to make right choices,
and I get things cleared up immediately when I don’t. Once I am in the habit of confessing my sin,
I don’t leave room for guilt, or its destructive effects on my life.
I’m thankful today for the truth of what Neil writes in the
last paragraph, especially this one: You’re
in Christ; you’re already forgiven. You
are the righteousness of God in Christ, and He will never leave you.
