We have to know YOU ARE                                   Righteousness is, therefore,

        LOVED. In Romans 5:8 it says,                             based upon God's standards, not
        “God demonstrates his own love                            ours. Remember you are righteous
        for us in this: While we were still                       in God's eyes through him. YOU

        sinners, Christ died for us".                             CAN DO ANYTHING. Philippians

               We need to remember exactly

        YOU ARE RIGHTEOUS. 2                                      righteous, and we can do anything

        Corinthians 5:21 says, “For God                           through Christ helps us to
        made Christ, who never sinned, to                         understand exactly who we are

        we could be made right with God                           these scriptures into our minds and
        through Christ”.                                          hearts, then it will be easier to
