righteousness

We're bound by our desire to be right.

The_Lord_makes firm the steps of the one who delights_in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall,_for the_Lord_upholds_him with his hand.

My confidence is in the idea that I may be wrong on this or that. No man in this life should ever have to bear the burden of perfection.

What is the return on investment of being wedded to your suffering? What do you receive from stewing in victim consciousness? Righteous indignation or an excuse not to change?

I__ fulfilling my calling when I seek to uphold righteousness in all spheres of life

Righteousness gives strength.

A steadfast heart does not stray from the path.

The political vision of the religious right is for the most part an individualistic politics of righteousness, not a communal politics of compassion.

Storms don't come to teach us painful lessons, rather they were meant to wash us clean.

If Christ has been given us, if we are called to his discipleship we are given all things, literally _all_ things. He will see to it that they are added unto us. If we follow Jesus and look only to His righteousness, we are in his hands and under the protection of Him and His Father. And if we are in communion with the Father, nought can harm us. God will help us in the hour of need, and He knows our needs.

To those who rejected Him, righteousness would one day appear as a terrible justice; to the sinful men who accepted Him and allied themselves to His life, righteousness would show itself as mercy.

Grace makes us inwardly RIGHT so we walk outwardly UPRIGHT

Every time I try to be righteous by my own actions, God reminds me my righteousness comes from Jesus alone.

Jesus confronted many of the important issues of His time. He went into the temple, taught the New Testament message, and took action against those who were buying and selling on holy ground. He healed the widow, forgave the adulterer, and by His example, the righteous walked away in shame. He had said, whoever is without sin, cast the first stone (John 8:7 - paraphrase)! Not one pebble, nor one rock was thrown. He who had that right to judge, Jesus Christ, did not cast judgement either. He looked upon the sinner lovingly, and embraced them. He guided them to change and opened blind eyes to see. By Christ alone, was and is salvation attained. Truth is in the New Testament, and a Holy Spirit-guided understanding of it. It must be read without regard for self. For when self enters in, that is when misinterpretations and heresies arise.

The gift of being able to speak with a holy God because of the righteousness we gain through Jesus on the cross is an indescribable miracle!

Seeking revenge is like reaching out for your own personal turmoil, it's never worth it. Righteousness will always come through Jesus Christ.
