Definition of the word Righteous - See Justification
Jus·ti·fi·ca·tion [juhs-tuh-fi-key-shuhn]
It is the judicial act of God, by which he pardons ALL the sins of those who believe in Christ, and accounts, accepts, and treats them as RIGHTEOUS.
"The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective." James 5:16
"The Lord is far from the wicked but he hears the prayer of the righteous." Proverbs 15:29
I LOVE these words. If I depend on Christ for my salvation, I am justified and he promises to answer my prayers. Not because of what I do, but because of what HE does. That's humbling!
