Jesus HAS MADE Everything RIGHT, by Grace

RIGHTEOUSNESS is the state of being RIGHT. KING Jesus, through His infinite Grace, is actively working to make everything and everyone righteous–RIGHT.

"The Law came in so that the transgression would increase but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that, as sin reigned in death, EVEN SO GRACE WOULD REIGN THROUGH RIGHTEOUSNESS to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 5:20-21

God’s Grace ensures righteousness before God is not attained through our own efforts, but rather through the transformative power of God (love) working through Faith in Jesus Christ.
