Even so Abraham BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS. Gal 3:6 NAS

Righteousness is only obtained through a believers faith based on Jesus Christ. There is nothing we can do on our own to gain it, and we surely do not deserve it. It is by the perfection, holiness, and sacrifice of Jesus precious blood that God looks through Jesus to see us as righteous. That covering blesses us with many benefits reserved for the children of God, David proclaimed in Psalms 34:

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry;

The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.

The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all;

Evil will slay the wicked; the foes of the righteous will be condemned.

 Although we will never obtain perfection in the physical our goal should be to display the faith and qualities of Jesus to show our obedience and love towards a gracious Father.

 To God Be The Glory!!!
