BENEFITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
Righteousness [moral and spiritual integrity and virtuous character] exalts a nation, But sin is a disgrace to any people.
Proverbs 14:34 AMP
Have you ever pondered on the reason God warns His children sternly against sin and enjoins them to live righteously? Proverbs 14:34 clearly States the reason "Sin brings reproach, shame, dishonor. But righteousness produces honor, exaltation, virtue, and glory.
A life of righteousness is a beautiful life Proverbs 21:21 NKJV says" He who follows righteousness and mercy Finds life, righteousness, and honor"The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
Psalms 92:12 NKJV.
Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.
I John 3:7 NKJV. Christ is your righteousness" But of Him, you are in Christ Jesus, who became... righteousness...
(I Corinthians 1:30 NKJV).
Colossians 2:6-7 NKJV says " As you, therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving." This is how to live this beautiful life of righteousness. It is t simply expressing God's nature of love and faith in you. It doesn't get easier.
