The day we are saved........the very day before, what were we doing?
Were you living for God the day before you were saved?
NO.
You were enjoying SIN.
What does this tell us?
It tells us that on Saturday we are sinning and enjoying it, and on our way to HELL. John 3:36

Then the very next day...THe VERY....>NEXT DAY.....We hear the Gospel, we kneel at the Cross and are BORN AGAIN. We have become "the righteousness of GOD in Christ".
We are "MADE RIGHTEOUS".... We have BECOME as RIGHTEOUS AS GOD's Righteousness that God has given us as "the Gift of Righteousness".

So, between Saturday when you were going to hell, and Sunday when you became a Believer, did you do any RIGHTEOUSNESS?

= YOU DID NONE.

YET IN ONE INSTANT YOU WENT FROM Sinner to SAINT, from Hell bound to ETERNAL LIFE, from Lost to SAVED, from Christ Rejector to Child of God.
That is in an INSTANT. = Born again.

So, that Righteousness that you became, that God gave you, because you gave Him your faith, and "faith is counted as Righteousness".....This is the same Righteousness that God has, and you received it in an INSTANT.
You woke up the next morning on Monday and you are STILL the "righteousness of God in Christ".
"made Righteous".

And 50 yrs later you are the same as you were the vert instant you went from Saturday sinner to Sunday BORN AGAIN, 50 yrs earlier.
And if you are born again TODAY or 50 YRS ago, you are still the same "righteousness of God in Christ" because God MADE YOU THIS, or He would have never accepted you as His OWN or kept you.

Of course, this righteousness is practical according to holy scripture (1 John 3:7, Romans 5:19, Matthew 5:6).
