Note:
- Righteousness is a Gift
- Righteousness is NOT a Reward
- There is NOTHING for you to do to get righteousness.
- Jesus Christ is the Gift of Righteousness
Difference between Reward and Gift
- Reward: You DO something to get the reward : You earn it
- Gift: You get it freely, You DON’T need to DO anything
How you get Righteousness?
- to receive the Gift of Righteousness: It DIDN’T say you to be good or you to do good or you to confess your sins or you to don’t sin
- It says Believe in Christ Jesus and Receive the Gift of Righteousness, which leeds you to Everlasting Life.
John 3:16
New King James Version (NKJV)

- Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.
- You can enter heaven only when you are Righteous.
- You go to heaven by receiving the Gift of Righteousness
- Jesus Christ is the Gift of Righteousness
2 Corinthians 5:21
New King James Version (NKJV)
