What is the Difference Between Righteousness and Holiness?

Righteousness and holiness are two words we hear often in Scripture, and they can feel confusing, especially when we’re trying to understand how God sees us and how we’re supposed to live. In this episode, we break it down with clarity and grace: righteousness is your right standing with God, and holiness is the lifelong process of becoming more like Jesus. You don’t earn righteousness, you receive it. And you don’t pursue holiness to be loved, you grow in holiness because you already are.
