We must never underestimate the power of faith in Jesus Christ. Despite studying God’s Word, many people still struggle with the concept of righteousness; it’s vital to understand, receive, and walk in it. Before we got saved, we had a sinful nature; none of the good deeds we did could change that. After we got born again, God gave us a new, righteous nature; now, despite any sins we commit, He still sees us this way. No matter how many times we fall, we’ll still be righteous; this is because our identity isn’t based in ourselves and in what we do, but in God and what He did. Our belief in the righteousness that He gave us will eventually cause us to change our behavior and do the right things. Accepting who we now are in Christ frees us from religious deception and moves us past useless self-effort.
