In Christ, because of the blood of Jesus, we have been brought into a legal situation where sin has lost the authority to separate us from God, as you know happened with Adam and Eve. In other words we have been brought into righteousness, in a state of unity between us and God. Here, in Christ, we are His vessels and His life is expressed in us and through us, and it is all because of righteousness.
Without righteousness there is no unity with God, but with it everything that God has can be expressed in you and through you. This life is by faith, and that faith is rooted in your identity in Christ. The more you know Him, the more you express Him.
