Actually we are Righteous the very second we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Its when we Believe that Jesus IS God is when we become Righteous, not after we read the Scriptures.
Where in the Scriptures does God say we become Righteous AFTER we read the Scriptures?
Romans 4:3-6
[SUP]3 [/SUP]For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” [SUP]4 [/SUP]Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due. [SUP]5 [/SUP]But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness, [SUP]6 [/SUP]just as David also speaks of the blessing on the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works:
Reading the account God gave concerning His Son is WORKS. We do not become Righteous by WORKS.
