Righteousness is only obtained through faith in Jesus Christ. There is nothing we can do on our own to gain it, and we surely do not deserve it. It is by the perfect, holy, sacrifice of Jesus precious blood that God counts us righteous. That covering blesses us with many benefits reserved for the children of God. David proclaimed a few of these blessings in Psalms 34 based on our inheritance:

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry;

The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.

The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all;

Evil will slay the wicked; the foes of the righteous will be condemned.

There is so much favour and protection hovering over your life because you belong in God and the risen Christ that carried all of sins and redeemed us from destruction.  

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Psalms 103:1-5 NIV
