“All covered up,” is the advertisement I picked up at the New Zealand Post Shop called. “Insure the things you can’t afford to be without,” I am reading also on the ad.

COVERAGE is “the extent of the protection provided by insurance,” tells me The Collins Concise Dictionary.

That in fact reminds me of the coverage provided by God.

Let us ask two questions.

Question number one:

What is the meaning of Justification? Our sins are forgiven, we are pronounced to be righteous and we are reconciled to God.

But there is more. We are dressed with the righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Question number two:

What is prayer? Prayer is conversing with the Lord Jesus Christ. Prayer is having an audience with the King of Kings.

And how important it is  to be properly dressed when we are having an audience with a Queen  or a King of any country, but even more when we are having an audience with the King of Kings.

RIGHT OF ENTRY: Our only right of entry to the King of Kings is being clothed with the righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ.

AND WHAT IS OUR ONLY RIGHT OF ENTRY TO THE KING OF KINGS?

We must be clothed with the righteousness of the Lord Jesus Christ. Only then do we have a right to stand before the creator of the universe. Please read Hebrews 10:19.

“I am covered over with the righteousness

That Jesus gives to me,

I am covered over with the precious blood of Jesus,

And he lives in me.”

is the hymn of an anonymous songwriter.
