What is Righteousness?
Righteousness is the ability to stand before a holy God without any sense of inferiority, guilt or shame of any kind
Righteousness is the justification of right deeds before God. the character or quality of being right or just Conforming to the revealed will of God. Reading from the Book of Romans 4:2-4 and Verse 4 “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth” .it simply means believing in Christ is Righteousness.
it is important to know that, God alone is excellent in righteousness, perfect in holiness and without any guilt of sin. No wonder in the book of Isaiah 64:6… “all our righteousness are as filthy rags” but this statement does not mean we cannot live a righteous life. Already, we have an advocate who stands in the gap for us which is Jesus Christ.
Therefore, believing and Confessing Jesus with faith from your heart simply qualifies you as the Righteousness of God. I Cor 1:30 … “Christ Jesus … has been made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption”. So Jesus Paid the Price for our Righteousness and All we have to do is to have a right standing with God.
