On a recent Growing in Grace podcast (#603) we talked about how believers are identified as righteous apart from their behavior. Faith-based righteousness isn't a matter of pursuing righteousness through what we do, but simply through believing what Christ has done. Here I share a snippet from that podcast in which I talk about this. We've been justified, cleansed, made righteous and made holy (sanctified) through the blood of Jesus, not through our own performance. Do yourself a favor, and spare yourself the anxiety, depression and fear that can result from thinking that it's up to you to gain or maintain a certain level of righteousness. Believe instead in the finished work of Christ.
