Who is righteous? How do we become righteous?
Not by works, but by the power of God.
The death and resurrection of Jesus makes it possible that we are righteous – not by works, but by faith.
And as we walk in faith, we must not walk in darkness, but to walk in the Light.
We put on the righteousness of Christ, and we must be diligent to not take it off.
Walk with a continual awareness that you are wearing the righteousness of Christ.
It is not about your efforts or abilities.
You are righteous because Christ made you so, and as you walk in Him, He makes you a fertile soil for His Spirit to dwell.
