righteousness

A layman's definition of righteousness is simply, "right standing with God" righteousness is the condition of being in right relationship with God. This can only happened through total faith and dependence upon Christ. There is no other way, there is nothing we can add to our faith to obtain right relationship with with lord.

"But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested. Being witness by the law and the prophets, 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: for all have sinned, and come short of the Glory of God(Romans3:21-23)

 The kind of righteousness that God offer's you and me is a righteousness that is " through faith in Jesus Christ, " and its unto all and upon all that believe. There are two kinds of righteousness.
-the righteousness of man and the righteousness of God. The righteousness of man his a persons very best behavior. And the Good works they do. But that can make you acceptable before God. You need a righteousness that  Equals God. And that what he is offering you now.

The mistake of thinking that doing right deeds makes us right is the same error the Pharisees made. Religion has always preach that if we clean up our actions our hearts will become clean too, but Jesus taught just the opposite (matt23:25-26). The gift salvation produced is a changed hearts. That in turn change our action. Action can't change our hearts it's heart that change our action. The hearts is the issue. Actions are only an indications of what's in our hearts.

       NO DISTINCTION
A righteousness that is according to the law is a righteousness of doing, earning, and achieving in order to be accepted before God. That what all the world religion today teaches. You have to do, earn, achieved in order for God to accept you.

But that not the Gospel, the God of the Gospel is God that offering his very own righteousness and acceptance to all who will believe in what Jesus Christ provided. And also this righteousness of God that is through faith is unto all and upon all [for there is no distinction] for all have sin and come short of God's standard or perfection. We can't approach God on our own. So God has offered how man can still be right with him and have a relationship with him. And this offering can be with our faith.

             JUSTIFIED FOR PEACE
"Therefore being justified by faith we have peace with God through our lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 5:1)
Paul was saying that when we're justified by faith, we have peace with God through our lord Jesus Christ. That his the only way we really have peace with God.  And also the only way we can have boldness to enter into God's presence.

       To be justified means to be declared not quilty; when people realized their sinful condition, whether by the law or the knowledge of God's Goodness, they start looking to Jesus alone for their salvation, but somehow after their born again experiences, somehow they slip into thinking that God is mad with them. But (Colossian 2:6,7) can help straightened out how our walk with the lord should be.
   
      "As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and buildup in him" 

 All our work with the lord are supposed to be grounded on only one principle faith in lord. You can't approach him on your own but with your faith in him, you can please him on every turn.

       WHAT WILL ARE APART FROM HIM.
You know before anyman come to God through Christ Jesus he was a sinner separated from God. "A thieve is not a thieve because he steal our stuffs but because it is his nature. It's that nature that make him to steal." The Bible Say's when Adam and eve committed there sin of high treason they fall short of glory. Meaning that before they sin, they were created with something greater. And right that moment they sin. They came to something less.

        "Wherefore as by one man, sin entered into the world, and death by sin, and so death pass upon all for all have sinned" (Roman5:12) 

 Death in this passage means "separation from God" when once Adam and eve fall. There spirit was separated from God. That why all need this  gift from God. It doesn't stop there it says death that devils nature began to move down. Like a genetic traits, from generation to generations. "So death pass upon all men"
"All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turn everyone to his own way; and the lord has laid on him the iniquities of us all" (Isa53:6) but thank God all our iniquities now has been laid on Jesus.

 Choosing to receive Jesus Christ as your lord and savior is the most important decision you'll ever make!
Gods word promises, "if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved, for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.... For whosoever shall call upon the name of the lord shall be saved" (ROM,10:9-10,13)

 By his grace God has already done everything to provide salvation, your part is simply to believe and receive.

 Pray out loud, Jesus, I confess that you are my lord and my savior, I believe in my heart that God raise you from the dead, by faith in your word I receive my salvation now.

 The very moment you commit your life to Jesus Christ, the truth of the word instantly came alive in your spirit. Now that you are born again there is a brand new you.

relationship with God

The majority of churches are teaching that God's love for us is conditional. They are misrepresenting his love, and it's one of the main reasons that we as Christians are so judgemental. And harsh toward other people, they tend to treat other people the way  they believe God is  treating them. A      One of the most important things about relationship is to understand the person with whom you're going to have relationship with. And that also applies To God. You need to understand the basic nature and character of God. In order to have a healthy relationship with him. Misunderstanding his character and nature is one reason many people don't have a relationship with God.         CREATED FOR GOD'S PRESSURE "Thou, art worthy.
