Made Righteous by His Blood
We are made righteous by the blood of Jesus—not by our own striving,
Not by the laws we keep, not by the good we are deriving.
No amount of human effort could ever wash the stain,
But the blood of the Lamb has made us clean again.
Since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through Him! (Romans 5:9)
The blood of Jesus speaks a better word than all our guilt and shame.
It cries out, "Forgiven! Redeemed! Acquitted in His name!"
When the accuser brings his charges and the evidence seems strong,
The blood replies, "The debt is paid—this soul to Me belongs."
Righteousness—not a status we achieve,
But a gift we receive when we believe.
It is the robe of Christ draped over our nakedness,
The verdict of heaven over our confessed brokenness.
God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. (2 Corinthians 5:21)
So we stand before the throne—not trembling, not afraid,
For the blood has covered every sin, every debt has been paid.
We are not righteous in ourselves, but in the crucified One.
The work is finished, the victory won.
Made righteous—not by our worth, but by His worthiness.
Wrapped in the crimson garment of His perfect righteousness.
So let us live as those who know: we are clean, we are free,
Made righteous by the blood of Jesus—for all eternity.
Amen.
