You are holy and blameless in My sight. Let these words of blessing sink into your heart, mind, and spirit. You may find it hard to believe this amazing truth because you know that you fall short of My holy standard every single day. Indeed, you are not holy and blameless in yourself, and you will never be sinless in this life. Nonetheless, in My sight you are gloriously righteous. When you trusted Me as Savior, you gave Me all your sins-past, present, and future-and I gave you My perfect righteousness. This is an eternal exchange, securing your place in My royal family forever.

This was a most costly transaction for Me. Your redemption, the forgiveness of sins, was accomplished through My blood-poured out freely because I love you. I want you to ponder how wide and long and high and deep is this vast ocean of Love I have for you. As you spend time in My Presence-opening your heart to Me-you are able to receive more and more of this Love that surpasses knowledge!

“[God] chose us in [Jesus] before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. -Ephesians 1:4”

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. -Ephesians 1:7 nkjv

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. -Ephesians 3:16-19

Because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.
