Righteousness means “to be examined and found in order”; “to have a right relationship with God”; “to be right, in right-standing with God”. To be holy. Revelation 19:7… “Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints” There is a strong call, by the Spirit, to a life of righteousness - practical holiness.
Unless there is a love for righteousness, there will be problems. It seems that when righteousness and holiness are being preached, when people are admonished to flee sinful lives and sinful tendencies, theological swords are drawn; people arm themselves for combat.
I believe that this is a generation that really wants to live righteously. There is now a cry in the land for heaven’s standards. No longer should the standard of the God of heaven be lowered so people can play the game by their own low and compromised standard.
God is the standard of righteousness. He is Jehovah Tsidkenu. Righteousness is part of the character/nature of God… and I pray that, in His mercy, He will impart this characteristic into us afresh, in Jesus Name. AMEN.
You will have good success this 2019.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.
