Faith Glories in the Cross Galatians 6:14
Faith brings needy sinners to Christ, puts on Christ, and walks in Christ. Faith brings sinners to the cross and glories only in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto us, and we unto the world. Though faith is not righteousness, it is the believerŐs connection to righteousness. Faith finds in Christ and enjoys in Christ the assurance of perfect, indestructible righteousness before God through the merits of GodŐs own Son. Faith in Christ assures the believing sinner of eternal life and everlasting righteousness, depending upon the perpetuity of that righteousness which can never change. Blessed be God, we shall never put off that Christ whom we put on when we believed (Romans 13:14; Galatians 3:27). The garments of salvation shall never wear thin! The robe of righteousness in which the Lord God has clothed us shall never wax old! The beauty our Savior has put upon us (his own beauty) is a beauty that fadeth not away!
