Are You Living With God's Righteousness?

 

Righteousness = The act of living in a way that is just, honest, and faithful to God's instructions. Righteousness is a sign of a person's purity and holiness in their actions and heart. It's one of God's main attributes, it is a reflection of God. Righteousness is living in line with God's Word and His standards. We must be careful not to mix God's righteousness with "legalism". Legalism is believing that by doing good works or by obeying the law, a person earns and merits salvation. We as Christians live our lives in righteousness through God's amazing grace, it's not forced on us through do's and don'ts, it simple comes from the heart to please God in all we do. It is a terrible thing for someone to claim to be a christian and still act like a non-christian. We supposed to be a reflection of God's love, peace, grace, mercy, & righteousness, etc. Obedience to God's written and spoken Word is a great reflection of God's righteousness being lived out in our lives!
