And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that you put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
(Ephesians 4:23-24)
The power of the blood of Jesus washes away all of the guilty stains and we can stand in God’s presence confidently.
Mark Hankins
You can know that the Bible says these things about you, but they may not seem real to you. You have a part to play. You did not make the new man; God did that. You must put on the new man. One translation says, “put on the new person that you are.” This new man is created in righteousness and true holiness. God would not make an unrighteous new creature. You have been made the righteousness of God in Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:21)
God sees you through the blood of Jesus. He looks at you as though you never did anything wrong. We can face life confidently. We can pray confidently. In Christ we have right standing with God. It is not only right standing with God; it is the identical standing with the Father that Jesus has. Dare to see yourself this way!
Confession: In Christ I am delivered from the power of darkness and translated into the kingdom of the Son of God. In Christ I have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins.
