Do you know what true righteousness is?
Here’s the simple answer: it is love.
Romans 13 has a lot to say about the allegiance to God and the Country, loving your neighbor, and putting on Christ.
If you don’t know what I ‘m referring to go read the scriptures it’s linked. Be prayerful, ask that the Lord show you what you need to see and know at this moment.
The way a believer of Christ comes to the understanding of what is true and right is by looking at His plans ( the Bible) considering the message of salvation ( the Gospels) accepting His son Jesus was sent as a sacrifice to you (a sinner) repenting of your sins (asking forgiveness) putting to death your old sin filled life to be born again living in the way Jesus calls us (baptism) and then surrender your life daily to serve the Lord Jesus and keep His commandments. (righteousness)
Not really hard to understand, but more hard to apply when you are holding tightly to the world and it’s ways of folly.
But here’s the hard facts.
Considering the times we’re living in, it’s high time to wake up, because our lives might end sooner than we think.
Because it was important enough for God to send His son Jesus because He wanted a relationship with us, then we need to understand it’s still important today. If you have lost that first love go back to that time when you first believed.
And if you have never experience it. Do it today.
Today it is more important then ever before.
Time is not what it used to be.
The night of sin is coming to an end.
The dawn of God’s eternal morning will follow.
Jesus is coming.
So throw away everything belonging to the darkness of this world and take up the armor of light. Conduct yourself honestly, as people do in the daytime. Don’t get involved in those things that people like to do in the dark, such as carousing, drunkenness, sensuality of off kinds, sexual immorality, fighting , jealousy.
Put on the robe of Christ’s righteousness and don’t do as others whose constant effort in life is to satisfy the cravings of their sinful human nature.
If you have any doubt, cast those to the side.
If you believe and know God is making a call to your life right now accept the invitation, friend you have nothing to lose and eternity to gain.
In Christ Love, Amen
