Research Article: Righteousness - Every Christian’s Gift from God (non-denominational Bible study / free video included)

A non-denominational Bible study on our righteousness (free video included).

** Righteousness is being “right” with God.

** Every person likes to feel accepted and loved. Knowing that others love and accept us is important for our health and well-being. Yet many Christians are so aware of their faults and shortcomings that they do not feel that God accepts them. Also, the fact that many do not feel accepted by their family or others contributes to their doubting that God could accept them. The purpose of this short study is to show from Scripture that every Christian is righteous before God. Biblically, righteousness is being “right” with God. When a person is “righteous,” he or she is “innocent,” “faultless,” or “not guilty” before God. The righteous person is “right” with God.

** One word, two distinct uses

** There is a lot of confusion among Christians about righteousness. Some say that we are righteous because of our good works, and others say our righteousness comes by faith apart from our works. Why the confusion? One reason is that the word “righteous” is used in two different ways in the New Testament. Christians must see and understand the difference between the two usages.
