In the old covenant, Achan and all his household were burned to death for his disobedience ....Joshua 7.
But now, though we do not deserve less than Achan, Jesus has paid our price on the cross. He has received the punishment for all the sins I will ever commit that is why I'm free to live a righteous life. A life free of sin. I dont have to struggle with sin because he that is born of God does not continue to sin....However, in the case where the righteous falls, there is an advocate.
I am righteous, not because of my works or good behaviour but because of Jesus' death on the cross. So ONLY in HIM can I be counted righteous.
As He died on the cross, I too died. So in Him, the full recompense of my disobedience is paid for. I now sit in glory, with Jesus in the heavenly places, far above all principalities and power.
Praise God and thank God for the obedience of Jesus!
