Charles Spurgeon wrote: "Jesus will never betray the confidence we place in Him. As we place our faith and trust in Him, remember that He is made unto us 'wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption" (1 Corinthians 1:30).
Christ is redemption for you. He paid the price to set us free from the curse of sin and condemnation. It is nothing but the blood of Jesus. Believers in the Lord Jesus Christ are blood bought. Jesus paid it all.
Christ is righteousness for you. Self-righteousness will never please God. By faith in Christ, believers receive the only righteousness that can possibly please God. You become righteous by faith in Christ alone. You receive the righteousness of God in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21).
Christ is sanctification for you. Trying to sanctify yourself is nothing more than self-righteousness. Only the blood of Christ and the Spirit of Christ can surely sanctify you before God. Jesus Christ alone is your sanctification.
Christ is wisdom for you. He is every believer's Counselor, sharing with you the wisdom of God. His words in Scripture speak wisdom and counsel for your life situations. He speaks wisdom as you read His words in the Bible.
