AI OVERVIEW: Righteousness is not earned by rules or performance but secured by Jesus’ finished work, which makes believers right with God and fills them with grace, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit. The kingdom of God is not about dietary or ritual rules; it is the presence of God and a daily response of worship fueled by Jesus, not by our efforts. Righteousness makes you feel put together, even in hardship; peace comes as life pieces come together, and joy is a happiness that springs from right relationship with God. The gospel centers on Jesus’ performance, and the Holy Spirit helps you sense him, leading toward sacred habits of worship as response rather than as a means to earn standing.
