Righteousness...........it's a gift!

But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ. And be found in Him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death, if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. Philippians 3:7-11.

We receive this righteousness the moment we accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour. This is the righteousness we want to be found in and showing to the world. It's the opposite of self-righteousness.

This righteousness is a gift of God which cannot be earned or deserved, neither can we work to get it or keep it!

This righteousness did not originate from us but comes from God....it's a gift!
