Christ’s sacrifice made us righteous. (Romans 5:19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.)

Now that we are made righteous, we choose to walk right.  Knowing God, we choose to submit to our new nature of righteousness by honoring Him and turning from sin.  (1 Corinthians 15:34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.)

And, God blesses and favors His own.  So, as the righteous who choose to walk right, we experience an empowerment to prosper, supernatural favor, and godly wisdom. (Psalm 5:12 For you bless the righteous, O LORD; you cover him with favor as with a shield.)
