I’m tired of hearing my christian brothers and sisters calling themselves “wretched sinners”. You aren’t.

Part of our completeness in Christ is that there is no condemnation from God. When God looks at you He sees a righteous, sanctified, redeemed son/daughter – because you are complete in Christ! We show forth this completeness in our day-by-day living when we are thinking the Word, feeling the Word, breathing the Word and acting on the Word. When we believe God we live what He has made us to be in Christ. There never, ever, ever is any condemnation from God toward you! Surely you should not condemn yourself! We are to see ourselves as our Heavenly Father sees us.

God says you are righteous! Is it because of your good works? No. It is by the complete and perfect work of Christ.When it comes to salvation; men’s works are not the issue. Jesus Christ has offered to God the one perfect, complete sacrifice for the sin nature and sins of mankind. 

Do you think that you or I could improve upon that perfection by our good works? To even consider that question is foolish. We are complete in Christ! The right and wise action to take is to accept and believe what God says He has done for us through Jesus Christ.

You are NOT wretched. You are NOT a filthy sinner. You are NOT separated from Christ.  You have accepted him as Savior therefore are beautiful, righteous and complete in him regardless of your “wretched sin”.
