God took Abraham out of his tent one night and told him to count the stars if he was able to do so.  And then God said, so shall your seed be!  Abraham could only see with the naked eye about 6500 stars, but there are over a billion stars in our Galaxy, the Milky Way. However, there are over a billion star clusters or galaxies.  According to that rationale, Abraham's seed is well over a billion billions!

When Abraham believed God, God counted that to him for righteousness.  But that wasn't written for his sake alone, righteousness is counted to us also who believe in God, who raised Jesus from the dead, who was put to death because of our sin and was raised again to solidify our justification, balancing our account and clearing us from all guilt before God.  It is as if we had never sinned.  When we believe God, He counts that to us as righteousness - the same righteousness Jesus has!  Jesus became sin for us, who knew no sin, that we may be made the righteousness of God in Christ.

We have the righteousness of Jesus by faith.  Meditate on that!  It will change your self image as you see yourself as the righteousness of God, in Christ.

That is why we can come boldly to God's throne, seeking Him if faith knowing He will perform His Word in our life.
