” It is by faith that a righteous person has life.” Romans 1:17
To be righteous in the sight of our God, we are to be in right standing with him. We are to show the qualities of obeying and believing in him. When we believe and begin to lead a righteous life our character or nature changes and we begin to desire the things of God. Our attitude changes. Instead of being self-righteous or going along with the ways of the world, we begin to live a life that demonstrates the goodness of our Father in heaven. We begin to consider the feelings and the lives of others. We begin to imitate the ways of our Lord Jesus. Our words and the way we present ourselves begin to change. There is no more using the Lord’s name in vain. There are no more curse words and disgusting thoughts and desires. Our right standing with God is based upon His standards and not ours. It is by accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior that our life begins, our attitudes change, and our desires are holy and not of the world. Yes, we are still human and sometimes stumble. But when we do, we recognize it, ask for forgiveness and ask the Lord to help us move forward. Our righteousness is a result of our faith in Jesus! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
