What aids Believers to reflect the nature of Christ is righteousness. When you are righteous it is because Christ made you righteous. You don't have the ability to be righteous and if you do it is just like a filthy rag before the Lord(Isaiah 64:6) that is why Paul admonished the Believers to submit their righeousness to the righteousness of God in Romans 10vs3. Righteousness and holiness are two
distinct things but have been used interchangeably by Christians over time: while holiness is to be set apart exclusively for God's use, righteousness is to have a right standing with God: Christ took our sinful position and died on the cross for us and gave us his positiö in God which is a right standing with Him. You can't get righteous all by yourself because righteousness is a gift. So, you have a need and you Pray to God in Christ's name, your faith in Him will give you answes to your request but the faith of the Son of God is the faith which he exercised while He was here on earth to live a clean and pure lifestyle, for you to live like He did, you need to live by His faith. As Christians, you are under obligation to keep a good report from Brethren within and without like the Elders who through faith obtained a good report.(Hebrew. 11 vs 1-2).
