Righteousness is...

Right relationship with God

Right relationship with people

Jesus says to Peter, and then says to the church (us) that:

whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

Meaning we are given the key to his kingdom. To be able to loose and bind things on earth (as it will happen in heaven).

We can open up the door to his kingdom and let people come in. We do that through telling people about Jesus, inviting them to Alpha, journeying with them through their addictions and every kinda bondage and also through forgiving them. Because true forgiveness sets people free. 

Forgiveness is one of the keys of the kingdom. May we, the church, use those keys to unlock the gates of Hades and set people free.
