The Righteousness Of God - Romans 3:21

Romans 3:21
The Righteousness of God Through Faith 
But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—

Is it possible to be righteous before God? How could this be so, for keeping His law is impossible for us?

The law showed us what is necessary. The word was given on stone tablets which were clear, but only served to expose the weakness of our flesh. 

This prepared the way for the word taking on our flesh so that we might have the word in our flesh, that we might become part of the word. 

Our joy comes not only in confessing the work of Christ, but to accept and claim our new life in Christ. That new life brings us into His righteousness. We thus come fully into the light of the world and become part of that light. 

How more righteous can we be if we have the righteousness of God?
