Not only are we spared from what is rightfully our punishment, which would be gracious in itself, but we also become the righteousness of God! Do we remember the magnitude of that as we enter and live out each day? Do we live our lives in accordance of that truth? Do we hold God in the reverence and gratitude that He undoubtedly deserves? Like I mentioned the other day, we are but a speck in the universe, yet we were important enough for God to send His only Son to take on and live out the harshest of punishments so that we can live in righteousness. Go win the day in that truth!
