Living in Righteousness

After one has received Christ as one’s personal Lord and
Saviour, the next step is: Doing right in all places (Righteousness)
without which, he cannot enter the kingdom
of God. Indeed Hebrews 12:14 SAYS: “Make every efforts
to live at peace with all men and for holiness without
which no one can see God”. Although, no matter how
much one tries to live the life of righteousness, his righteousness
is useless without Christ, for Christ is our righteousness.
The Greek word dikaiosune is always translated as righteousness
and is found 92 times in scripture whereas the
English version of it is found 305 times in scripture and it
means: Doing right in all places. Infact, it is only in Christ
alone and by faith in His atonement can we live righteous
lives (Rom 3:22-25; 4:1-22).
