Re: The great reality...

"How am I righteous before God?

In Christ."

Nobody is "in" Christ.  If they were they would be trespassing and he would aggressively kick them out.  God is within us!  Jesus taught us that.

So many "Christians" ignore the fact that when we practice what Jesus taught, we are shinning the Christ that is within each and every person on Planet Earth!

John 14:12-17:

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.  And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.  If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.  If ye love me, keep my commandments.  And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;  Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you."

God is simple and very easy to understand.  Bodies are complex and difficult to deal with.
