Meditation: “I am righteous in Christ before God and an heir of eternal life. These two belong together. They are inseparably related, just as these two are also inseparable: I am guilty before God and worthy of everlasting death and desolation. It is of great importance for the believer’s spiritual life, for his peace of heart, and for his growth in grace that he clearly understands this marvelous truth and fully appropriates it. He must understand his need to be righteous and that his righteousness must be perfect before he can be an heir of all other blessings of salvation. He must see clearly that this righteousness is not in himself but is wholly outside of him in Christ. He must apprehend that the verdict of God declaring him wholly and perfectly righteous does not rest in and has nothing to do with what he is in himself, but is an imputed righteousness. The moment he finds in himself, his goodness or good works, the ground or any part of the ground for the verdict of God’s declaring him righteous, he forfeits peace with God. But in the measure that he clearly understands that this verdict of the Judge of heaven and earth justifies the ungodly and has its basis outside of himself in the perfect righteousness of Christ, he has access to all the blessings of salvation” (Herman Hoeksema).
