For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.  2 Corinthians 5.21

God’s love for man was shown by an attitude of unbelievable character, so that we could be saved and reattached to Him. The truth is that only in Heaven we will have complete knowledge of how lost we were and how great is the salvation that was granted to us. It not only saved us from eternal suffering, but it also made us participants of His fullness in love, capacity, and power.

God never knew sin; however, in order to save us and make us servants according to His eternal purpose, He made Jesus become sin for us. It was an act that we cannot fully understand while we are in this life. However, He could not simply ignore us and leave us in death, for we did not participate in the former disobedience, only in the punishment that came to all humanity.

Apostle Paul called the salvation plan a madness of God, for the Most High went to the extreme in order to redeem those who were separated from Him. The process was complex and very painful, because the price paid by His Son was beyond we can imagine. He did not do this only for us to be saved, which would have been good enough, but for us to become ministers of the New Testament. The Lord has done great things for us!

The Lord used Paul to say that His purpose was to make us become His righteousness in Jesus. Therefore, never let the enemy deceive you with his lies, saying that you do not have the value that Scriptures give you. This extreme act from God proves that we are valuable to Him. Nobody would pay 1 million dollars for a pack of bananas, but they would for a nice house. We have great value to the Lord.

Now that we are the righteousness of God in Christ, whenever we pray asking for a blessing to rebuke the enemy in the Name of Jesus, the divine power come into action and will fulfill the work. However, we have been so evil! Although we know about the power of good that is in us, we do not preach the Truth to those who suffer; we embrace them many times, showing love, but do not set them free.

Do not let anyone diminish you in regards to the things that the Word has authorized you to do. You can and must be the blessing that God made you to be for your neighbor. Jesus said that whatever we want others to do to us, we should do to them as well. If the saved ones assumed the authority that they received from the Lord and set free those who suffer, they would do a great good to all people.

In the battles of prayer, be like Moses was before Pharaoh, for he knew his place as servant of the Most High. Act like David and many others who knew how to obey to the mission they received. Then, when you serve the Lord, you will see how much He loves you. Do not be defeated by evil, for you are the righteousness of God in Christ.

In Christ, with love,
