There is none righteous,
no, not one;
There
is none who understands;
There
is none who seeks after God.
They
have all turned aside;
They
have together become unprofitable;
There
is none who does good, no, not one.”
”
Their throat is an open tomb;
With
their tongues they have practiced deceit“;
” The poison of asps is under
their lips”;
Whose
mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.
Their feet are swift
to shed blood;
Destruction
and misery are in their ways;
And
the way of peace they have not known.”
”
There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
-Romans 3:10-18
The Bible tells us that he became sin who know no
sin. He became sin. Jesus became sin although he knew nothing of it.
He had never experienced it before, never committed it, but yet he became it
for our sake. It tells us in Romans that we are all sinners. We are sin. Christ became his utter
opposite so that we could obtain that which is opposite of us.
He became the one who is unrighteous so that we could become
righteous.
He became the one who didn’t understand so that we might understand.
He became the one who doesn’t seek after God so that we could seek God
and find Him.
He became the one who does no good so that we could do good in his name.
He became a throat like an open tomb so that we could speak words of
truth.
He became deceitful so that we could honest.
He became one who spoke words of poison so that we could speak words
of love.
He became one with a mouth of cursing and bitterness so we might
speaks words of uplifting encouragement.
He became swift to shed blood so we could bring healing in his name.
He became destruction so we could be reconstructed.
He became misery so we cold have joy.
He became un-peaceful so we could have peace.
He became one with no fear of God so we could fear God and love him
with our whole hearts.
He became sin so we could
become His righteousness.
For
He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might
become the righteousness of God in Him.
