Rightened

"So, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ," Romans 5:1.

Wait a minute! Being what? justified. being made right. being given right to belong. To belong where? To belong in the heart of God's welcome. And through whom were we rightened? through Jesus Christ. Our Lord. Who secured for us this righteousness? (Let's say it again) Jesus! And what did we do to tap into this standing upright? We believed him when he said he did it. That's what we did. Faith. Justified by the faith that what Jesus did sufficed. And we have peace. Safety. Security. Calm. Quiet. Home. Sky kingdom. We have peace with God.

Joyfully we touch home with a brother or sister today and speak of God's welcome. We belong! And, together, we give grateful praise to God. Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
