life's worth: How to become righteous

“For with the heart of man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” (Romans 10:10)


HOW TO BECOME “RIGHTEOUS”


To be “SAVED” you MUST put your "TRUST" IN CHRIST, and nothing else.


You say, “But what if I clean up my act?” No, there are people who live better by accident than you do on purpose.

so cleaning up your act isn't the way this time around,


Our distinction as Christians is that we have placed our "TRUST IN THE SHED BLOOD OF JESUS CHRUST", and nothing else. Paul lays it clearly on the line: “ if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" (Romans 10: 9-10).


Salvation is the result of what you believe in your heart about the finished work of Christ, and what you confess with your lips. Those two elements, BELIEVING AND CONFESSING, bring you into a state of “RIGHTEOUSNESS” in the eyes of God.


Have you ever gone to a grocery store with a coupon cut out from a newspaper? You want a bag of flour or sugar, but you’ve no money. Yet they give it to you. Why? Because with the coupon, they give you credit as though you had the money. Getting the idea?


You have no righteousness to bring before God in exchange for salvation, but He has set up a coupon system called redemption and said, “Once you place your trust in Christ, I will view you as righteous from that moment on.” The word “RIGHTEOUS” simply means “TO BE IN RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD.”


What a way to live!
What a well of joy!
What a source of confidence!
