Becoming Righteous Brings Righteousness

Becoming righteous is a high ask who indeed can claim this real prize for God declares all as sinners so need God to give you rise Being able to achieve righteous deeds won't bring a righteousness divine for deeds can't make you such only God can show you His sign God is the author of true righteousness for He is righteous perfectly true always has been past and forever brings Christ's imputed righteousness upon you The good Lord now sees us as Christ with His righteousness upon our frame so God accepts us as His holy ones now Satan can't cast us with any blame Now we can do righteous deeds seeing we are righteous altogether such a blessing and privilege to have God has endowed it upon us forever (Quote: " We do not become righteous by doing righteous deeds but, having been made righteous, we do righteous deeds".) - Martin Luther ( 1483-1546)
