Christ Our Only Righteousness

 

Christ Our Only Righteousness

Scripture

“But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law… through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe.” — Romans 3:21–22

Personal Reflection

When storms expose my weakness, I am reminded that my standing with God is not built on performance but on Christ’s righteousness alone. This truth steadies my soul when I feel my failures most keenly.

Contemplation

Am I resting today in Christ’s righteousness—or subtly trusting my own obedience?

Puritan Quote

John Bunyan wrote, “This righteousness is in Christ, and not in us; and whoever trusts in his own righteousness trusts in a broken reed.”

Prayer

Lord Jesus, I renounce all confidence in myself. Clothe me afresh in Your perfect righteousness.

Application

When guilt or fear arises today, verbally confess: “Christ is my righteousness.”
