I Am Righteous!

“That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;”
When you stand in your righteousness, you have no reason to worry or fear, because God is the judge. Even when you miss the mark, He sees you through the blood of Jesus. That blood cleanses you from sin and presents you as blameless before him. “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”Roman 1:16.
When one is righteous, he is holy and he is as righteous as Christ when born again. Salvation comes through sanctification and belief of the truth. So, one is sanctified when he believes unto righteousness and unto salvation. The word righteousness (Greek Dikaiosune), means righteous ordinance, a decree of acquittal and this word is translated Righteousness. “The righteousness of God” is that righteousness which has been fully met and maintained in the atoning work of Christ on the cross, by which God is now able to save sinners and still be righteous in doing so.
Righteousness gives you right standing before God. Your righteousness is founded on faith. Always remember that in the Gospel, the righteousness of God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith. So, stand in your righteousness.
