Did you know we can be RIGHTEOUS??? The world and satan would like to
beat us down and say we can not obtain "righteousness" but why would
our loving God call us to be righteous if we cant obtain it???
I have found 93 scriptures that mention righteousness. Many talk about Gods righteousness and we should note these as calls to reflect His righteousness.
BUT THERE ARE 64 SCRIPTURES that call US to BE righteous!!! So if you are saved and are following Gods ways in your life you can be righteous!. Yes we sin and then we repent and we can STRIVE FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. It is a blessing, it brings blessings. It is on my heart to live RIGHTEOUSLY.... not because it saves me but BECAUSE I FOUND RIGHTEOUSNESS IN HIM because HE SAVED ME and I want my life to reflect my hearts desire.
We are being refined, tested and equipped here on earth. For what you might ask???? To prepare us for the Millennium. The 1000 years were we will be teaching others what we have learned so they too can be equipped to overcome satan when he is let out one last time.....
We will not be perfect but in Him we are "made white as snow" and righteous in His eyes THROUGH REPENTANCE. Repentance is recognizing our sin, being whole-heart sorry and then turning from sin. Conquering sin!! Overcoming temptations. Being stronger than our fleshly desires. Turning to prayer and study so that we can grow and continue to conquer, overcome.
Better is never to have sinned than to have to repent. When we overcome we have less sin and less to repent for. Sin becomes less attractive, easier to turn from.
Hey if all you want is a comfortable religious experience here, go for it. But as for my hearts desire I want to do what is pleasing to the Lord and have eternal benefits, rather than live now for comfort and pleasure.
Seek FIRST the KINGDOM of GOD!! and all other (things worth having like eternal life with God) will be added unto you.
None of us will enter the Kingdom of God if our hearts are clinging to the things of the world. It is very clear in scripture what God wants us to strive for and what He commands us to stay away from. Pray with all your heart that He reveals to you how to go from Glory to Glory... how to grow closer to Him in each new lesson you learn, sin you overcome and experience you share in Him. Shalom
