For in Him we live, and move, and have our being.
Acts 17:28

God loves you as much on your bad days as He does on your good ones.
Really? How's that possible? Because His acceptance of you is based on
your position (in Christ) not your condition (in the flesh). Listen:
"For our sake He made Christ [virtually] to be sin Who knew no sin, so
that in and through Him we might become [endued with, viewed as being
in, and examples of] the righteousness of God [what we ought to be,
approved and acceptable and in right relationship with Him, by His (not
our) goodness]" ( 2 Corinthians 5:21 AMP).

At Calvary God took every sin you could ever commit and laid it upon His
Son. When you come to the cross as a sinner, He takes all of Christ's
righteousness and wraps you up in it. From that point on He sees you
only one way - in Christ! How liberating!

Liberating - yes! Because now we see that our worth isn't based on what
we do, but on who we are in Christ. God actually assigned value to you
by allowing Jesus to die for you. "But I can't believe that God doesn't
care about what I do?" You're right! God wants you to do good works -
but He doesn't want you to depend on them; He wants you to do them out
of love for Him. Once you understand your position, who you are in
Christ, you can get off the performance/acceptance treadmill and begin
doing the right things for the right reasons.
