Today I'm sharing about a Biblical concept that has drastically changed my life. What is it? Learning I was the righteousness of God in Christ. Growing up, I don't remember sermons being taught on this concept. Boy, am I ever grateful that as a young adult, I was introduced to how being mindful of wearing the breastplate of righteousness in the armour of God could change not only my workdays but my LIFE.

Some of the Bible verses mentioned:
2 Corinthians 2:15 "For we are the aroma of Christ to God."
Titus 3-4-7 "But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life."
Romans 3 23-24 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."
Isaiah 61:10 "I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels."
Romans 5:1 "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."
Romans 5: 6-9 "You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him."
2 Corinthians 5:21 "For He hath made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him."
Romans 3:22 "This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe."
Romans 3: 26 "He did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus."
Romans 3: 28 "For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law."
Colossians 1:22 "But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation."
