Genesis 15:6 " And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness".
Unbelief! Many will be kept out of the land of promise because of there disbelief. Unbelief, the first step Adam took before he disobeyed God. The word of God says that many of the children of Israel didn't enter the promise land because of there unbelief. Did you know not to believe God is a Sin?
It is our belief in the word of God which is counted as righteousness.
Man is incapable of being righteous, or holy enough to stand before God. It Is our faith and belief in the Lord Jesus Christ which is righteous. God looks at our faith and counts it as righteousness. Jesus Christ is our righteousness before God. In Him lies our holiness, our perfection and our sinless life which God is calling us to live. We must be in Christ and Christ in us that we might be found without spot or blemish. Romans 8:1 tells us "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit". Since Christ has come those who believe in Him are not condemned. God counts our faith in Christ as us living, and dying with Him being raise to a new life in Christ. God sees us as sinless and perfect, because Jesus was sinless and perfect and the life we now live in the flesh, we live by the faith of the son of God who loved us and gave Himself for us.
Jesus Said we must abide in Him and He in us, as the branch cannot produce fruit aside from the vine. What God has called us to become lies in Christ. We can do nothing and are nothing outside of Christ. Our salvation is in Christ and Christ alone, He is our righteousness.
