The only merits toward salvation rest in the righteous fulfillments of Christ

"But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us...Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ...For He (God) made Him (Christ) who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. Sirs, what must I do to be saved? So they said, 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved...'"
Titus 3:4,5; 2 Corinthians 5:18,21; Acts 16:30,31

What a glorious truth this is that we so often take for granted. Christ became sin for ME. Wow. I am left speechless. Our God is a great and mighty God! I pray that the essence and power of the Gospel will always be fresh and new to me, and that I will seek to live by its power until Christ returns for us. May we always hold this dear to our hearts and love God wholly and fully because He alone reigns!!!
