Covered By His Righteousness. Eph. 6:14b,;Isa. 59:16-17;2 Cor. 6:14-7:1;Lev. 10:10-11It is natural to want to show the whole world what we or our loved ones have accomplished, whether it is running a marathon, our kids’ academic achievements, or any job well done. Working hard to accomplish something requires great discipline. However, we need something greater than our own efforts to live a truly abundant life. We need Jesus’ help. For example, it is natural for us to push back when told we should place a priority on taking care of our physical bodies first, in order to fully serve God and those around us. We live in a time when we feel helpless and vulnerable. The human heart desires to be safe, but in a world full of conflict, especially spiritual conflict, the only safe place is in Christ!Because Christ’s righteousness does differ so much from what the world would call righteousness it is imperative that our relationships, especially those which are close, are built on equal ground with others who also are clothed upon with Christ’s righteousness.
