Righteousness – By receiving grace we have become the Righteousness of God in Christ. This Righteousness is not an experience, although it gives birth to many marvelous experiences. It is the nature of the Father imparted to us. It is that nature gaining the ascendency in us until we know that we are what God says we are masters, conquerors!

Righteousness means the ability to be in the presence of the Father God without the sense of guilt or inferiority. God has dealt with the sin in His Son. He has put sin away by the sacrifice of that Son. He has made it possible for man who is spiritually dead, in union with Adam, to become a New Creation by receiving the very nature and life of God. This life and nature of God is Righteousness. Consequently, the man who has received the nature of God has automatically become the Righteousness of God in Christ.

He may not know it, he may not take advantage of it, but it is true.
