My Bible Verse of The Day - 3-21-25
2 Corinthians 5:21 (NKJV) 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
This verse is one of the deepest scriptures in the entirety of God’s word.
Yes, it rivals the depth of, “in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”
It rivals God forming Adam from the dust of the earth, and breathing life into him.
It rivals the 6 days of creation.
And it rivals about anything else we can think of in God’s word.
Consider this. God took on human form in Jesus. He came to earth. He dwelt among men. He taught His disciples truths that were too much for the human mind to comprehend.
And then He offered His (perfect) life as a sacrifice for our sins so that we would not have to pay the price that was the penalty for our sin.
And here is the deepest part; He made Him who knew no sin (Jesus) to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God through Him (Jesus).
We became righteous in God’s sight through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, by no act of our own, and by no power of our own, far outside of our human understanding.
Think about that. Really think about that!
We had nothing whatsoever to do with this entire act. And yet He offers it to us free of charge and paid in full because of His grace and mercy.
We do NOT deserve it. We can NOT earn it.
He gives it to us freely by simply trusting Him by faith.
Go ahead. Try to fully comprehend that by human understanding. It is NOT possible.
But it is true, nonetheless.
And this is where we see the power of the verses in Proverbs 3:5-6, when God tells us not to lean on our own understanding, but to acknowledge Him in all our ways.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV) 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
If you are in need of something to hold onto today, this is it.
