Righteousness

[Colleen]

I'm ways afraid if askin g dumb questions but this has always been a conundrum to me. If there is none righteous, no not one. Then how do the prayers of a righteous man count more? (Availeth much) Sorry I'm terrible at chapter and verse. Help!   :dsunny: :dunno2:

Like Abraham, faith in God is reckoned as righteousness. None are righteous in the sense of being without sin.
But "reckoned" by God to be righteous, is that, we aren't righteous, but God reckons us so through our faith.
"For without faith, it is impossible to please him."

Thought-provoking question and good response.   :2thumbs:
