In episode 5 of the podcast, I begin to build upon the foundation of forgiveness that I laid out in the last episode. I dig into the biblical meanings of both grace, and righteousness and how important they are. Grace is divine empowerment, and it empowers righteous living. Righteousness is being made right with God with no separation, and righteousness also means what is right according to God's standard (It is the opposite of sin). I dive deep into these subjects and how because of the foundation of forgiveness and being freed from the prison of sin, God's grace is given to empower us and to give us an identity of righteousness, and with that identity of righteousness intact, it produces the fruit of holiness. Good trees produce good fruit. And Jesus has made his followers into good trees. We must believe the identity that God has given us, and we must only define ourselves by Him and His words.
