"GOD'S WONDERFUL GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

When you received Christ, eternal life was imparted into your spirit and righteousness came with it.

 Righteousness is God's nature that produces the rightness of God within you and gives you a right standing with God.  A gift.of grace delivered to you by Christ Jesus. John 1:17; "For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. "  Those who take hold of that righteousness shall reign in life. (Romans 5:17). It's your responsibility to take hold of your righteousness in Christ by being conscience of it.

 Being conscience that you are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus gives you boldness and confidence to pray and expect prayers
 It gives you  dominion over the devil and his cohorts and the circumstances and adversities of life.

 What a beautiful gift
 Your righteousness is the result of Christ suffering and triumphant resurrection. It doesn't matter how wicked you have been or how far you have strayed from God.  You just need to embrace His righteousness.

 Remember you didn't ask Him before He gave you His righteousness and it can't be improved upon.

 Because it is the righteousness of Christ Jesus. The only sinless one to walk the face of the Earth.  So, we are not going to be more righteous in heaven than we are in Heaven. In God's presence we are free to express ourselves and be ourselves as we worship and fellowship with Him, because we have right standing with Him.  Hallelujah!!!
