No, we must endure to retain the righteousness given to us as a gift. Not to be considered righteous. Being IN CHRIST considers us righteous. Disobedience removes us from Christ.

You have a righteous standing because you walk by faith to his leading which IS RIGHTEOUS.

It is a righteous act but is not righteous in and of itself.

The righteousness of God is the law upon the heart not a forensic imputation of position.

Wrong. Dead wrong. There is the dangerous TWO CENTS' WORTH OF FLESH.

Do I still sin? Yes!, but the blood of Jesus cleanses me from my sins. Should I remain sin and claim grace, absolutely not.

Amen.
Quote:

The blood only cleanses if you walk as he walks which is a path of righteousness by the Spirit and do his commandments. 1 John 1:7

The path of righteousness is not a path you create by good works, but a path provided to you by HIS WORK which YOU STAY ON by obedience.

Ys if you follow the Spirit but not if you follow the flesh.

And following the Spirit is allowing HIS POWER to cause you to do good.
