Are We Sinners Saved by Grace, or the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus?
The answer? We’re both—but not at the same time. Let me explain ✝️👑
✅ We were sinners—that was our condition before Christ.
Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
That was our past. Sin separated us from God. We were lost, broken, and blind.
🙌🏾 But grace stepped in.
Ephesians 2:8 says, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.”
Jesus didn’t just save us from sin—He brought us into something greater.
🔥 Now we are the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:21 says, “He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”
That’s not just a new title. That’s a new identity.
💡 Here’s the key:
We were sinners saved by grace, but once we came into Christ, we were reborn. Our spirit was made new. Now, we don’t walk around calling ourselves what we used to be. We walk in what God made us to be.
⚠️ Calling yourself a sinner when you’re in Christ is like wearing shackles after you’ve been set free.
💯 So yes—we were sinners. That’s how the story started.
But through Jesus, we’ve been redeemed, restored, and made righteous.
Now, we don’t live under guilt—we walk in GRACE, clothed in RIGHTEOUSNESS, empowered by the HOLY GHOST. 🔥🔥🔥
