Christ died for my sins is shorthand for the only way to have God 100% on my side is to receive rest in as a gift who Christ is and what he did for me not who I am and what I did for him that's the heart of the Gospel and it's resting there where discipline can come from and resistance to legalistic discipline can come from and whether it comes from there makes all the difference as to whether we're operating in the freedom of the Gospel now here's here's a Biblical basis for that statement about the
gospel 2 Corinthians 5:21 God made him to be sin God made Jesus to be sin who knew no sin that in him we might become the righteousness of God so God takes our sin and imputes it to Christ and God takes Christ's righteousness and imputes it to us this is 2 Corinthians 5:21 one of the most glorious verses in the Bible for getting at the heart of the Gospel this Grand exchange my sins go on him his righteousness goes on me and because of that and that alone am I 100% acceptable he is 100% not
99.9% on my side he is 100% on my side on one basis alone who Christ is and what he did for me I get in on that by childlike yes yes I will have that receiving him my Lord My Savior My Treasure I take him if that's the deal yes but if we say I think I want to provide a little bit of righteousness on my own like I'm going to pray or I'm going to resist all that legalistic prayer stuff and that'll count that'll be the 1% the 0.1% and he'll finish being on my
side now I get him get him totally on my side by doing some stuff good stuff and that's called self-righteousness it's all of Christ the basis is all of Christ praying is Overflow from that confidence or resisting legalistic praying is Overflow from that confidence
