YOU ARE HOLY, FAULTLESS AND BLAMELESS

‘’And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath He reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreprovable in His sight.’’ Colossians 1:21-22 (KJV)
Jesus did not only save you from sin; He has reconciled you in the body of His flesh through death to present you holy, unblameable, and unreprovable in God’s sight. As you stand in front of God, you are completely good and clean. He sees nothing that is bad in you. This isn’t something God is trying to do or going to do; He’s already done it through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. So, this isn’t a promise! It is a statement of fact! You have been reconciled with the Father. And the reason for the reconciliation is to present you as holy, blameless and without reproach in God’s sight.
Child of God, it doesn’t matter what anybody thinks about you! God says you are holy, faultless, and irreproachable. That is who you are to Him. That is how He has presented you to Himself in Christ Jesus. Holy and free of all accusations. Believe this truth and stand firmly on it. This is where your audacity of faith comes from. This is the reason we are bold as believers to make demands on His name and decree a thing and see it come to pass. It is because our righteousness is of Him. It isn’t because of what you did or didn’t do. No! It is because of what Jesus did.
You are free from all accusations. You can no longer be held bound by sin, guilt, and condemnation because God has reconciled you to Himself through the shed blood of His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. I encourage you to stand before the mirror of God, which is His Word and see that you are faultless. Look into the Word and see that you are justified, free, discharged, acquitted, no appeal and case closed.
