Righteousness
Matthew 5:6, Matthew 6:33
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for
righteousness, for they shall be filled.” Matthew 5:6
“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness,
and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:33
The dictionary describes righteousness as being morally
right or justifiable. In the Bible, righteousness refers to being in right
standing with God, being pure morally inward and outward conforming to His law.
This is something we cannot earn but is given to believers through faith in
Jesus Christ. It is not just being moral, but it is also in having a
relationship with God. Living a life that reflects God’s will.
God’s provision, His punishment of the wicked, His
forgiveness of sins, and His calling people to seek Him and His kingdom are examples
of God’s righteousness.
Please read the scriptures listed, study
them, apply them to your life and grow in the saving relationship with Jesus
Christ our Savior.
