Substitutes of Jesus

[The Glory Unveiled]

“For God made the only one who did not know sin to become sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God through our union with him.” ‭‭[ 2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭21‬ TPT ]

God is not a joker, He does not dramatize nor use words carelessly. He is a king and His words carry authority and authenticity. And so the substitutionary work of Jesus was not a hoax. It was a deliberate legal action. And because of that, it holds water in every dispensation and generation before and after us. This is why the substitution of Jesus for us is the best thing that had ever happened to the world. Nothing in this world or the world to come can discredit the justice served when Jesus took our place on the cross. To the Justice system of eternity, Jesus who knew no sin, became sin for us and the punishment for our sin, and the chastisement of our peace was upon Him. If Jesus suffered indeed for us, wouldn’t it be unjust if we do not enjoy His righteousness indeed? And if Jesus did not sin to carry our weight upon Himself, then we do not have to do anything [meet the divine standard of God in its totality by our efforts] to have His righteousness, if indeed it was a substitution. By faith in what Jesus suffered for us, we have what we did not work for. The only problem is that, many of us allow religious sentiments and emotionalism to wash down something as certain as God through the drain of unbelief. Such people want to do something tangible to feel that they have been redeemed or saved. While in fact, their salvation is not tied to their works but rather to their absolute faith in Jesus alone which is their union with Him. The word of God is unchanging, it’s from everlasting to everlasting; you can bet your future on it.
