Are you right with God? Listen to the content of a tract written by Pastor Dean that uses Old Testament Scripture to answer that question. First, it must be understood that only God is righteous and no good works anyone can do can make them righteous. Hear how God, in His love, sent His Son to die on the Cross as our substitute. To answer that question of how to become righteous before God, understand that all you have to do is believe in Christ.
