Jim Achmoody So timely for me [John Reed's Facebook declaration]-as this past week I was pondering the covering of the righteousness of Christ we wear as believers[Rom.14:17] and Kingdom citizens. Think also of the Colossians verse and Jn. 17: 'we are in Him...the middle letter is i, He goes before me [Ps. 16:8] and 'has my back'; in Him 'we live and move and have our being' Acts 17:23ff. Because I am in Him, the Father God looks at me and sees no sin...not because of anything I have, am or ever will do, but by His stripes!
