God is a giver! He gives righteousness!

“For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.” (Rom. 5:17 ESV)

He cleanses us from all unrighteousness

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9 ESV)

A righteousness through faith in Christ

“And be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith.” (Phil. 3:9 ESV)

We become the righteousness of God

“For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.” ( 2 Cor. 5:21 ESV)

Therefore…

“But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled.” (1 Peter 3:14 ESV)
