Who makes us righteous? Jesus. So then, we can call ourselves righteous. He puts us in another category when we come to Him. We are not like others who try to be righteous or follow religious rules. None of that counts to God in the game of eternal life or death that we are in. All that God sees, is what the Blood of Jesus covers, so come under the roof of that dwelling, where you are protected by the human sacrifice that Jesus made. Slide under, believe that He is the Son of God, and be made righteous simply because you believe in Him. Psalm 34:15 states: “The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open to their cries” (NEB). This means that God is watching you because you believe in Jesus, and He will hear your prayers over others, because He calls you righteous simply because you believe in His Son and obey Him. Sometimes this is so simple that it is hard to believe. We believe, and are accepted and heard by God. Now we trust and obey, and receive the answers to our prayers, not through our own good works, or strivings, but because of our faith in Jesus. Wow!
