When He shall come with trumpet sound, oh may I then in Him be found, dressed in His righteousness alone, faultless stand before the throne.
I sang those words last night from Hillsong’s, “Cornerstone” and they hit me like a ton of bricks. I have never thought about what I would be wearing when I stand before the throne of God until last night.
It’s kind of a big deal. I want to look my best for God. The pajama pants and one of Josh’s old t-shirts that I’m wearing right now certainly would not do. In fact, I’m pretty sure nothing in my closet would do, not even my beautiful wedding dress (if I were able to get back into it) would be good enough for this momentous occasion.
Isaiah 64:6 says But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags;
No matter what I’m dressed in, if I show up in my own righteousness I’m going to look awful, unclean and filthy. In my own righteousness I’d never make it past the throne. Thank God for Isaiah 61:10 He has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness.
The filthy rags I used to wear are long gone. All God will see when He lays eyes on me are the clothes that Jesus gave me from His own closet. He’s covered me with His garments of salvation and His robe of righteousness and because of that I will enter into heaven’s gates where I will spend eternity worshipping God. I’ll get to meet my son Felix because of the clothes that Jesus gave me! My husband and children will get to worship with me because Jesus has clothed them in the same outfits! Amazing!
It doesn’t matter what else is happening in your world today, the fact that you will be able to stand faultless before God because of the righteousness of Jesus is enough to turn any bad day into a good one!
Christ wove a perfect garment of righteousness for 33 years and then gave it away to those who trust Him alone to save them. – John Bunyan
