PRINCIPLES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
Reading through the scriptures, you will discover that God honors the righteous (Genesis 7:1). Because of this, men of old always want to do all in their power to live a righteous life before God and man. In most cases, people always misinterpret righteousness to be moral. That is why today, people want to kill others because they think they are not righteous, forgetting that the act of killing is also the act of unrighteousness. It is therefore important that we understand the principles of righteousness.
The word of
God therefore revealed to us the principles of righteousness. It is built on submission
and allowing God to lead our lives. The word of God says Abraham believed God
and it was accounted to him for righteousness (Genesis 15:6). So, the first
step into righteousness is to believe God (Hebrews 11:6). This is because faith
in the word of God always makes us to obey God.
A righteous
man Is therefore the one that always live according to the will of God. He/she
is the one that fear God and always shun evil (Job 28:28). This is because
he/she knows the consequences of sin. He/she knows that sin will disconnect
from God and the grace of God (Romans 3:23; Romans 6:1-2). That is why our
righteousness should not be built on culture, tradition or religion but standing
right with God. This is what will make your relationship to be the best. Peace.
PRAYER:
Lord, help me to always obey you.
“IT IS
NOT HE THAT IS RIGHT, BUT HE THAT IS RIGHTEOUS”
