YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS will determine where you spend eternity. If JESUS has come into your life and you are a child of God, then you are a righteous man. Jesus said, I read from Matthew 5:20 “For I say to you that unless your righteousness SURPASSES that of the scribes and the Pharisees, you SHALL NOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.” If you are a child of God then you have repented of the dark works of the flesh and of unrighteousness and you are living in utter righteousness. We will be judged by our deeds and if our deeds are not righteous then we prove that we are not children of God. The apostle John wrote in 1 John 3:6 “6No one who abides in Him sins; and no one who sins has seen Him or knows Him. 7Little children, let no one deceive you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; 8the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 9No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: ANYONE WHO DOES NOT PRACTICE RIGHTEOUSNESS IS NOT OF GOD, nor the one who does not love his brother.”
Righteousness is not works of the law, it is not about obeying the law of Moses. Righteousness is a result of obeying Jesus Christ, His words. We will be judged by the words of Jesus and if we disobey Jesus we will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL DETERMINE WHERE YOU SPEND ETERNITY.
May Jesus bless you.
