Righteousness isn’t for show. A righteous act is simply doing what we know is good, right and true. It isn’t to impress others, nor even to impress God. It is the practical application of loving Him, of loving others, even loving ourselves. Make no mistake about it, a right standing with God is the gift He gives for trusting Christ. Righteous living grows from gratitude not need for bragging rights.
“Those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ! Rom.5.17 Conversations Within” ts 1/22/2019
