That is why he gave us Jesus, who cleanses us from sin as we go throughout this life. Christ righteousness is applied to our account. All throughout the bible God takes delight in His righteous followers. You become righteous by doing righteous works. We have to live by His commandments, and do His will. Righteousness involves being fruitful in the way. We should do those things that are not in the law, but are for the building up of God’s kingdom. We should be servants, and account ourselves as being slaves to God. His work isn’t gruesome, but pleasing to the mind, body, soul, and spirit.Righteousness uplifts a nation; it endures forever. Righteousness will rescue you on the day of judgement. You will be acquitted. Righteous delivers poor souls from destruction. God finds no fault in righteous living.
