Sermon: Blessed to be a Blessing

 We boast in the One who gives us the free gift of salvation. We boast in the One who earned our salvation for us. "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."  As St. Paul writes, "Jesus has become our righteousness, holiness and redemption." Jesus is your righteousness. 

He has made you, a sinner, right with God by His death on the cross. Through faith in Jesus Christ as your Savior from sin, you have been made right with God. Now God not only "accepts" and "tolerates" you, He takes pride in you. The Lord boasts in you! Jesus is your holiness.  Jesus is your redemption. 

He has bought you and purchased you with His own life blood as the price. You are not your own. You are His treasured possession. And that is something to boast about!
