(Nuggets from 1 John 3:10)
RIGHTEOUSNESS is one of the attributes of God, and as His child, you are expected to be like Him.
Every child has characteristic traits of their parents, and in like manner, every child of God should have the characteristic traits of God evident in their lives.
RIGHTEOUSNESS DEMANDS EXCELLENCE AND ABHORS MEDIOCRITY.
RIGHTEOUSNESS is not MORALITY, it is all about SPIRITUAL OBEDIENCE. It does not glorify God when we IGNORE His commands and settle for REBELLION.
When you feel you should do the right thing, and you do it because the right thing is what would meet God’s standard, that is called RIGHTEOUSNESS.
When you decide to live a FAIR, HONEST, and PURE life and standard because it will glorify God, that’s called RIGHTEOUSNESS.
When you change your NEGATIVE ATTITUDE or approach towards something or someone because you desire a CLEAN HEART, that’s called RIGHTEOUSNESS.
When you submit and suspend your own SELFISH DESIRES while you could have held onto being ARROGANT and STUBBORN, that’s called RIGHTEOUSNESS.
If RIGHTEOUSNESS means OBEYING GOD, LETTING GO of a FALSE STANDARD, RELINQUISHING YOUR PAST, ADMITTING when you're WRONG, and in exchange, you get to walk forward in FREEDOM, DELIVERANCE, and PROSPERITY, then RIGHTEOUSNESS must be what is best for you.
RIGHTEOUSNESS is a PROOF that you are truly a CHILD OF GOD, just the same way whosoever commits SIN is of the DEVIL.
RIGHTEOUSNESS is not GENUINE without LOVE. It is ironic to see "CHRISTIANS" claiming to be RIGHTEOUS when there is no TRUE LOVE for one another.
Love the Lord, Love His commandments, Obey them, Love your neighbours, Love your offenders, just the same way Christ loved the sinful world and gave His life for all even though we didn't deserve it.
IF YOU MUST SEE GOD AT THE END OF THIS LIFE AND BE WITH HIM FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY, RIGHTEOUSNESS IS A MUST.
This is HOLINESS CHALLENGE
