WANT TO BE RIGHTEOUS? BELIEVE!
Matthew 6:31-33 - Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? Or what shall we drink? Or wherewithal shall we be clothed? (for after all these things do the Gentiles seek): for your heavenly Father knows that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
2 Corinthians 5:21 - For He (our heavenly Father) has made Him (Jesus, His Only Begotten Son) to be sin for us, Who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.
Philippians 3:9 - And be found in Him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the Law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.
SALVATION IS NOT BY OUR WORKS; IT IS A GIFT!
Ephesians 2:8-9 - For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.
Titus 3:5 - Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit.
THE GOD WHO SAVES, ALSO PERFECTS!
Romans 8:28-30 - And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He did predestine, those He also called: and whom He called, those He also justified: and whom He justified, those He also glorified.
Philippians 1:3-6 - I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, for your fellowship in the Gospel from the first day until now; being confident of this very thing, that He Who has begun a good work in you, will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.
Philippians 2:13 - For it is God Who works in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.
Hebrews 13:20-21 - Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to Whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
THE FINAL "PRODUCT" IS CHRIST-LIKENESS!
1 John 3:1-2 - Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knows us not, because it knew Him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is.
RELIGIONS ARE BASED UPON MAN'S WORKS!
CHRISTIANITY IS NOT A RELIGION:
IT IS A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, OUR FATHER!
