These free coloring page will help children understand being “covered by Christ’s righteousness.”
It continues our series on the Good News. This background page shows the “sinful rags” that we all wear before God. The second page illustrates how Christ covers us with his righteousness.

These coloring pages illustrate the aspect of justification where Christ’s righteousness is imputed believers. In other words, his good works legally become our good works in the sight of God. When the Almighty Judge looks down on us he see’s Jesus rather than our sin. See our Bible lesson on Philippians 3:2-15 for more details.
Isaiah 64:6 All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.
Romans 13:14 Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature.
Philippians 3:8-9 What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ–the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith.
Thank you so much. I love the craft ideas. I’m not a crafty person so they help me and my kids alot.
This is a wonderful illustration of how we are before Christ. Thank you for sharing.
