2 Corinthians
A Spotlight on the Scriptures
2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
This is the glorious exchange! Not a bargain. Not a deal. Not a compromise. But a divine transaction sealed by grace and signed in blood. In exchange for our sin, Jesus gives us His righteousness. We bring guilt—He gives glory. We bring shame—He gives sonship. We bring debt—He gives deliverance.
And how does it happen? Through imputation. That’s the theological term, but don’t let the size of the word scare you—just let the truth of it bless you. It means that when you place your faith in Christ alone—not Christ plus works, not Christ plus religion, not Christ plus tradition—but Christ alone… God credits your spiritual account with the perfection of Jesus. Your sin? Transferred to Him. His righteousness? Transferred to you. It’s the greatest exchange in history—your mess for His majesty, your decay for His righteousness.
And it’s not earned. It’s not bought. It’s not deserved. It’s received—by faith.
So don’t miss it. Don’t delay it. Don’t dilute it. This gospel is not just good news—it’s glorious news. It’s not just a message—it’s a miracle. And it’s offered to everyone who will receive it.
So, come. Come with your sin. Come with your shame. Come with your empty account—and let Jesus fill it with His perfection. Because when you’re in Christ, you’re not just forgiven—you’re declared righteous. And that, my friend, is the power of the gospel.
