How To Become Righteous | Read

To be 'saved' you must put your trust in Christ, and nothing else. You say, 'but if I clean up my act?' No, there are people who live better by accident than you do on purpose.

Our distinction as a Christian is that we have placed our trust in the shed blood of Jesus Christ, and nothing else. Paul lays it clearly on the line: 'If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10v10)

Salvation is the result of what you believe in your heart about the finished work of Christ, and what you confess with your lips. Those two elements; Believing & Confessing, brings you into a state of RIGHTEOUSNESS in the eyes of God.

Have you ever gone to a grocery store with a coupon cut from a newspaper? You want a bag of flour or sugar, but you have no money. Yet they give it to you. Why? Because with the coupon, they give you credit as though you had the money. Getting the idea?

You have no righteousness to bring before God in exchange for salvation, but He has Setback coupon system called Redemption and said, 'Once you place your trust in Christ, I will view you as Righteous from that moment on.'

The word RIGHTEOUS simply means 'to be in right standing with God'. What a way to live! What a well of joy! What a source of confidence!
