As If

I was thinking the other day about an old friend of mine who has a lot of troubles and been through some really rough things.  Our lives look really different, but on the inside we are not that different.  I was listening to a song on the radio, and now I can't quite remember which one it was, but the line that I heard, along with my thoughts about this friend led to a thought.

All of a sudden I thought,"Because of what Christ did, it's as if I had never done anything wrong, in God's eyes."  It sounds like a crazy, bold, outrageous thing to say, but I think that it might be right.  What do you think?

(I am not trying to say we don't or haven't ever sinned...but regarding how we stand before God, we are righteous.  His righteousness for our stains.) 

2 Corinthians 5:21

God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
