Romans made righteousness
make sense. Paul broke it all the way down—not just what it is, but how we
receive it, how we live it, and why we need it. Righteousness is not about
being perfect. It is about being made right with God through faith in Jesus
Christ. That shift changed everything for me. I am not trying to earn my
place—I am trusting the One who already secured it. Paul showed that
righteousness is both a position and a lifestyle. It is what justifies us
before God, but it also transforms how we treat others, how we see ourselves,
and how we respond to grace. It is not just a label—it is a way of life.
