New Creatures


We have become all-together different creatures. Not only does God have no record of our sins, not only does He not impute them to us, not only has He made us as having never committed them; He has made us as having always done everything right. “God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God” (2 Corinthians 5:21).

    Are the "we" just ignorant, or are there fewer "we" than we think?

    The two sides of the equation cannot be separated; neither side makes sense standing alone. Unless, given one side, you use algebra to solve for the other. Therefore, if someone tells me I am righteous and God looks at me as if I had never sinned, I see that as a partial equation with Jesus having become sin for me in order to balance it out. Hope that makes sense.

    Never extrapolated out the "righteousness of God" out in this way to see exactly just how righteous He has made us! Pretty cool, Raphie! Thanks, bro! :)
