Suddenly while walking in the field this sentence fell upon my soul, "Thy righteousness is in heaven." With awe, with the eyes of my soul, I saw Jesus at God's right hand. There was my righteousness. I saw Jesus that it was not my good frame of heart that made my righteousness better or my bad frame of heart that made it worse, for my righteousness was Christ Himself. By faith we are lead into the mystery of the union with Christ. First, he preached sin and the Savior, second he preached the exaultation of Christ, lastly he preached the mystery of the union of Christ.
-John Bunyan, Pilgrim's Progress p. 81 & 205
