And that is how a muted, broken soul finds its voice again — not by working up a confidence we don’t have, but by trusting the God whose righteousness has already been proven, in public, on our behalf: first at the Red Sea, and then at an empty tomb outside Jerusalem.
Jesus more than paid for all the sins of all the people in the whole world. By doing so, He opened the gates of heaven for God’s righteousness to come pouring down upon you and upon me. We are now flooded… with the purity, holiness, and uprightness of God.
