In Christ we are righteous

Ephesians 3:7-9 (NKJV) "7 But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. 8 Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;"

Romans 3:21 - 24 (NKJV) "21 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,"

In these two scriptures it is made clear that were are made right with God, by His grace through Christ Jesus. Know that as a child of God and believing in the redemptive work of Christ Jesus for us that we are righteous and without fault before God. The price has been paid by Jesus Christ when he died on the cross for our sins so that we can enter into God's presence covered in the righteousness of Christ Jesus.

Make this a part of your every day life and live in the righteousness that you inhereted through the work of Jesus who loves you.
