Watch this week's video with Pieter Swart as he talks about Righteousness by Faith & Righteousness by Works.
Striving? Frustrated? Not happy? No joy?
How do you live up to a standard of righteousness? How do you work or perform to be righteous?
You cannot work for righteousness. You cannot try hard enough to live up to a righteous standard. It is a free gift that you receive in Jesus Christ the day you become born again.
Salvation means that I've been made righteous (Romans 1:16-17). Jesus, who was not a sinner, became a sinner so that I could receive His righteousness (Romans 4:25). When He rose from the dead, we received that righteousness.
Righteousness means that I stand before God just as if I never sinned, and that I have a right to the promises and inheritance of God. He made you righteous. You are blessed because He made you righteous and nobody can separate you from that.
