"If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory." (Colossians 3.1-4)
Your value [your righteousness] was given to you by Christ. He bought it with his blood. If you have trusted Him, nothing can add or subtract a thing from this perfect standing. Let that thrill you freshly today. Many "gospels" are competing for your attention (Galatians 1:6)
And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. (John 17.3)
But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. (Revelation 2.4-5)
