The gift of righteousness - a covering for a bold and confident relationship with God.

Righteousness by faith is that covering in Romans 4: 'blessed are those whose lawless deeds are covered.'

Though there may still be coruptions in the heart, this righteousness gives us the boldness to approcach the presence of God Himself. In His presence, God sanctifies us by infusing Christ Himself into our hearts, imparting His purity through a faith based relationship with Himself.

The quality of our righteousness perceived and received corellates to the boldness and sense of welcome that we can enjoy to receive of His gracce.
