Righteousness is God’s Gift of Grace to all that believes
by faith.This is our right standing with God. We do not work for it, we cannot work it. God gives it to us as part of our gift of grace when he accept Jesus
Christ as our Lord and savior. His Blood paid the full price for our sins and
the finished works of Calvary is our basis for righteousness. The same way we
receive Christ by faith, we need to receive this gift of righteousness by faith
and walk in the revelation of what The Word says we are and Who the Words says
we are. God rewards us for our faith, faithfulness and our righteousness in
Him. His throne is established in righteousness and we are established in Him
and we are righteous in Him, not in ourselves because our own righteousness is
like filthy rags before Him.
