Righteous

The only Righteousness we can manifest is of the Holy Spirit. We receive the Holy Spirit by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Even as Abraham believed the Lord, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Translated from KJV

Abraham being the first benefactor of Grace Through Faith

It is the Righteousness of Faith which makes us acceptable to God.

In the Righteousness of Faith we are perfected. How so?

Christ Jesus has imputed His Righteousness to us through His Faith.
But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who by His Holy Spirit is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: Anchored to 1Pe 5:14 Translated from KJV
The Holy Spirit Father is Christ in us.

We cannot detract from nor Add to the Righteousness of Christ.

Our Focus should Not be on developing our own Righteousness. Rather it should be on testifying to the Righteousness of Christ Jesus.
