MADE HOLY AND FAULTLESS IN GOD’S SIGHT
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 unreproveable in his sight.— Colossians 1:21-22
Our opening scriptures show us that the death of Jesus Christ was a critical means to an end of presenting us holy, unblemeable and unreproveable in God's sight. This is too big for the religious mind to accept, but it is truth. Holy means separate for God and His purpose. This means He made you His own. Unblemeable and unreproveable means faultless. And this is in His sight not the sight of the world. It is important that you live your life based on what God sees. The world may judge you differently but God's testimony and judgment is greater (1 John 5:9). You are the faultless product of His vicarious work. How could God produce a product that is faulty? In our previous study, we learnt that Christ brought us home to God through His death and resurrection. It is in His presence that we are faultless and holy. This understanding will help you live a holy life every day. Ephesians 1:4 concurringly declares, "According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love". He chose you to be holy and blameless before Him. This was fulfilled in Christ death and resurrection. Ephesians 2:10 AMP states, "For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us]". We are God's own master work of product in Christ Jesus. We are God's best. God produces excellent products. God looks at you in Christ and sees no fault. This is about the perfection of Christ. This is so even though your actions may not be perfect. The perfection of your actions is possible because of the perfection of Christ. You will struggle to live holy if you don't accept that you are made holy and faultless in His sight. You can only be outside what you are within. Jesus took all the blame so that we are blameless in His sight. This was His love decision. Let this fill your mind as you think about His death and resurrection.
