2 Cor 5:21 (NKJV) The Divine Exchange

Blessed morning!

Title: The divine exchange 

Are you hesitant to ask big of the Lord because you feel you don’t deserve them?

On Sunday, Pastor Prince encouraged us to not live by our feelings, but to know the truths found in God’s Word. And the powerful truth is this: We can never do enough to deserve God’s blessings, regardless of how hard we try. Instead, we can simply receive God’s blessings believing in the “divine exchange” brought about by Jesus.

2 Cor 5:21 (NKJV)

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

This “divine exchange” took place at the Cross. Jesus, the Son of God who the Bible says knew no sin, became sin for us. Why? So that we might become the righteousness of God in Christ. 

This is Good News. It is gospel truth that’s worth meditating on until it fills the recesses of your heart. 

Jesus has finished the work of redeeming you at Calvary. You are the righteousness of God in Christ. You don’t stand before the Lord in your own righteousness. Sin no longer has dominion over you for you are not under law but under grace (Rom 6:14). 

Said Senior Pastor: “We don’t do to become righteous. You already have become righteous.”

Therefore you can come boldly before God’s throne of grace because you are in Christ and His righteousness is your righteousness. What this means is you never have to go by your feelings that “I’m not good enough” or “I just failed to hit the mark.” It’s no longer a question of whether you deserve God’s blessings. Instead you should ask yourself, “Does Jesus deserve the Father’s blessings?” As the answer is always “Surely!” then the same applies to you too!

So stop trying to qualify yourself for His healing touch or supernatural provision. Instead, simply worship and thank the Lord for His wonderful gift of righteousness and believe all the good that Jesus deserves is coming your way!

And all of Rock Kidz say, “Thank you Lord for the divine exchange. I believe that all the good which You deserve is coming my way! Amen 🙏!”
