2 Corinthians 5:21
For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
The importance of Jesus taking on all sin is that all men can become worthy to stand before the Father in a righteous state. By accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, all believers are eligible to do away with all that separates them from their eternal inheritance.
Through salvation, all the sins of the old man are gone – nonexistent. All that remains before the Father is the new man in Christ without blemish. The new man that stands before the Father is made in His own image. The new man is now the essence of everything good and the absence of anything evil. He is worthy to dwell with the Father for all eternity.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You for creating us in Your image, heirs to Your kingdom. We ask forgiveness for all those things in our lives that make us unacceptable to stand before You and accept our eternal blessings. We praise the name of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who took on all of our sin so that we may become righteous in Your eyes. We pray, Father, that You will provide the grace for us to live in accordance with the renewed hearts given to us by Jesus. May we live by new principles, new rules, new ends and in new company. May our outward reformation be living testimony to Your kingdom. We pray that those around us will seek the One who knew no sin.
