Understanding A Righteous Life
Righteousness is defined as the ” character of being right or just”. It is doing right and refers to the state of one who is such as he ought to be before God and man ( Acts 10:35). It is holy and upright living, in accordance with God’s standard and it is given through faith in Jesus Christ (Phil. 3:9). God’s character is the source of all righteousness ( Gen. 18:25; Romans 9:14). God takes great pleasure in righteousness ( Jer. 9:24).
Righteousness requires a voluntary change ( Eph. 4:24). It is at the heart of combating sin (Ps. 119:10-11). It regards discipline as a productive (Heb. 12:11). Righteousness reveals genuine salvation (1,John 2:29).
Works of Righteousness include love for each other (1 John 3:10b). It produces spiritual and visible results (Matt. 7:16). We ought to be living every day the kind of life that reflects Jesus Christ ( Phil. 2:5; 4-8).
