“ And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram and said unto him, I am Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect” Gen 17:1 1. Understanding a Righteous life. 2.Benefits of living Right. Solomon, to whom God gave wisdom, said, Righteousness exalted a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. Proverbs 14:34. Solomon came to recognize that only in God can a man find real significance and lasting satisfaction. Eccl 12:13; Psalms 103:5. 8: Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 9: Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. What is Righteousness? a) Being right or just before man and God- Acts 10:35 b) Being holy and upright according to Christ’s standard- Philippians 3:9 c) Being like God in character and attitude- Jer 9:24 d) Voluntary and deliberate action to fight sin- PS 119:10-11 God expects us to live right. Are you numbered among God’s righteous? The danger of unrighteous living is that whatever holiness is driving away, sin will be attracting.
