ACCEPTED IN CHRIST JESUS



    
I have on few occasions represented my school in certain competitions and my performance and result became the way my school was rated; if i did well, it would be said that my school did well and if I failed, it would be said that my school failed. It didn’t matter how other students were, they were judged on my basis because I was representing them.
The high priest is the one who represents the people before God; God judge the people only by her representative. If the high priest did his part well, the people would be accepted and blessed and if the high priest didn’t do his work well, everyone he represents would be deemed failures.
Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. Heb. 4:14
Christ is our high priest and His work for our total salvation is accepted before God therefore all who who put their trust in Him and had trust in His redemptive work on their behalf is thereby accepted before God. We nolonger need to do anything to be blessed by God because Christ has done everything we’ll need to do to earn salvation. Lets learn to look onto Jesus, He authors our faith, and ensures the perfection of it (makes sure our faith gets result).
If you are in Christ, you are accepted not on your merit but on Christ’s merit, you’ve achieved every perfection Christ achieved, and you’ve conquered everything Christ conquered etc. because Christ is your representative.
Christianity is no longer what we do to get God’s blessings, its faith in what Christ has done on our behalf. In Christ, we’ve been saved which includes healing, deliverance, blessed to prosper and all our genuine need has been met.
God bless you
