"But one day as I was passing into the field with some dashes on my conscience, fearing that all was not right, suddenly this sentence fell upon my soul: 'your righteousness is in Heaven.' I thought I saw with the eyes of my soul Jesus Christ at God's right hand. There was my righteousness. Wherever I was or whatever I was doing God could not say that I lacked his righteousness, for that was ever before him. Moreover I saw that it was not my good frame of heart that made my righteousness better, nor my bad frame that made my righteousness worse, for my righteousness was Jesus Christ himself; the same yesterday, today, and forever."
~John Bunyan, Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners

Amazing that our righteousness is seated at the right hand of the Father.
