o man, no woman in self can be righteous before God. There is nothing in you that can make you righteous. You have to be given the nature of righteousness. You have to be given a righteous covering or you have to be covered with righteousness. This can only be done through Christ. II Cor. 5:21 reads, “For he [God] hath made him [Jesus] to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him [in Christ].” Listen, God makes you righteous. It has nothing to do with what you have done. It has nothing to do with what you do or do not do. If you believe on Jesus the Christ, God makes you righteous in Him.
The word is God and when we believe the word and act on the word we set in motion the will of God for us today.
