GRACE FOR YOU TODAY
25 AUGUST 2026
RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IS ALL ABOUT JESUS
“Remember now, O Lord, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart…”
Isaiah 38:3
“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
Believers today sometimes approach God by quoting the faith heroes of the Old Testament and, in doing so, unconsciously make their righteous walk, their faith, or even their tears the basis of their confidence.
Hezekiah appealed to his own walk:
“Remember how I have walked…”
He also said, in essence:
“See my tears.”
But the Gospel gives us a *far better basis* for approaching God.
Righteousness is not fundamentally about how perfectly I perform. Righteousness is all about Jesus—the One who stood in my place, bore my sin, died my death, and rose again for my justification.
So when we pray, we don’t point to our tears or our performance.
We say:
“Heavenly Father, because You heard Jesus’ vehement cries and tears that echoed all around, You have surely blessed me 360°—all around!”
“Heavenly Father, because You were fully satisfied with how perfectly Jesus walked, You have surely blessed me 360°—all around!”
This is how we pray today—not trusting in our own righteousness, but resting completely in Christ’s perfect righteousness!
Prayer
Daddy God, thank You that my righteousness is not based on my performance but on Christ’s finished work. Holy Spirit of God Teach me to rest completely in His perfect righteousness and to approach You with confidence because of Jesus. Amen.
Proclamation
I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus!
I trust in Christ’s righteousness, not my own.
I am accepted, justified and blessed in Christ.
I return to Christ’s righteousness, and I am lifted to reign!
Praise the Risen Jesus!
