Hello wendyfaye, The answer is" By Faith! Rom. 3:26 tells us, "for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus."(NASB) Then, in Rom. 4:3-5 Paul states, Rom 4:3 For what does the Scripture say? "ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS." Rom 4:4 Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due. Rom 4:5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness," (NASB) Further, in Rom. 5:1 we have the concluding result "Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" (NASB) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Hi WENDYFAYE We are told in the bible that our righteousness, is as filthy rags. Therefore we can never stand before God in our own righteousness. Isa 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. The righteousness we seek is, the righteousness of God through Christ, and this righteousness shall be upon all them that believe, that Christ's fulfilling of the law might be attributed to us also Rom 3:20-22 20) Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21) But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22) Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. Rom 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. So being in Christ, we stand in His righteousness, having been been made righteousness unto us, that we who believe may attain eternal life through Him. 1Co 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: Php 3:9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: Rom 5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. So then as you can see, it is the righteousness of Christ in which we stand, we gain His righteousness upon our Conversion (Salvation, Rebirth, Regeneration). Rom 5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Grace be unto you Lightedsteps |
