Power Points

The word that remains the same in all translations is the word "righteous."

As Christians, righteous refers to being in right standing with God. We are declared righteous because of our position in Jesus Christ.

Righteous also refers to our conduct. Righteous means to act in an upright, moral way.

When we obey God commands, we act in an upright, moral way.

To be called "righteous" we must be found in Christ and make it a habit to obey God.

Your prayers will be effective, powerful, dynamic and produce wonderful results!
