Affirmations of God's Love, Mercy, and Righteousness: Finding Strength Through Scripture

 

Isaiah 26:3 NLT  "You, Lord, give perfect peace to those who keep their purpose firm and put their trust in you."

God’s Word reminds us of His mercy, love, and the righteousness we receive through Jesus Christ. It has been increasingly clear to me how important focusing what God says about us and what He has made us through His death and resurrection to my health -mentally and physically. We are new creatures in Christ when we made Jesus the Lord and Savior of our life. 

I've decided to put together some affirmations to help me to focus on what God has said about me. I hope these affirmations also encourage your heart and help you stay rooted in Him.

1. I am deeply loved by God, and His mercy is unending in my life.

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.” – Lamentations 3:22-23

2. Through Christ, I am made righteous, and my life bears the fruit of His Spirit as I abide in Him.

“If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” – John 15:5

3. My righteousness is not my own but is found in Christ, who strengthens and sustains me.

“This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.” – Romans 3:22

4. God’s forgiveness cleanses me, and I am made new through Christ.

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” – 1 John 1:9

Sometimes it can be hard to hold to the new person we are in Jesus. I know that I have let my past mistakes and mess ups have been grounds for feeling mighty condemned. I can be pretty hard on myself in the past based on these mistakes. But Jesus' blood is more powerful than anything that I could do wrong as long as I ask for His mercy.

1 John 1:9:

"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
