The word righteous speaks of being in a right standing with
God. The scriptures tell us that there is none righteous. No one can be in a
right standing before God on his or her own. God's word tells us plainly that
we all have sinned and come short of God's glory. But our God is righteous and
through his Son, that righteousness—that right standing—is passed on to us.
So many times we find ourselves struggling with guilt, sin,
and failure...But our God reminds us in His word in 1 John 1:9 that as we
confess our sin, he will forgive and cleanse us from that unrighteousness that
we abhor and make us righteous in his sight. Jesus sacrifice on the cross puts
us in right standing with the Father once again. We have been made righteous
through Christ, the Righteous One.
