Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. (1 John 3:7 KJV © 2016 Thomas Nelson, Bible) It is not of any goodness of our own selves. GOD Is Good. JESUS did everything right. We are the righteousness of GOD in Christ. (see 1 Corinthians 5:21) Thus saith The Lord of hosts; Behold I will save My people from the east country, and from the west country; And I will bring them, and they will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be My people; and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness. (Zechariah 8:7-8) Thank GOD for JESUS: His obedience to The Father, and love for us. When we turn to GOD from sin, we can be reconciled to The Father through faith in Him. We need JESUS! Glory to GOD. In JESUS’ Name. Amen.
