1 John 2:29 If you know that He is righteous, you also know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of Him.
This verse describes someone who truly knows Christ, not only in belief, but through a real and personal relationship with Him. To know that He is righteous is to recognize that Jesus is perfectly righteous in all His ways. There is no flaw, compromise, or inconsistency in Him. He is completely pure and holy.
When someone places their faith in Christ, they are born again. By God’s grace, they are given a new nature, and Christ dwells in them through the Holy Spirit.
As a result, their life begins to reflect His character. Practicing righteousness becomes a pattern of life, not as a way to earn salvation, but as evidence of the new birth.
As a believer abides in Christ and seeks Him wholeheartedly, God continues to work in them, conforming them more and more to the image of His Son. ~ Jeff M Newman
