The Narrow Way

Righteousness is a term frequently found in the Bible, and it is a concept that is essential to understanding our Christian faith.

Righteousness is often defined as being morally right or justifiable. In other words, it is the quality of being right with God.

We know that righteousness is a gift from God that we receive through our faith in Jesus Christ. It is not something that we can earn on our own.

So, how do we apply righteousness to our daily lives? First and foremost, we must strive to live in a way that is pleasing to God. We must try to live a life that is marked by love, kindness, and compassion. We must also do our best to avoid sin and temptation. Through prayer and study, we can deepen our relationship with God and learn more about His will for our lives. We must also pray for guidance from the Holy Spirit, who can help us discern right from wrong and make better decisions.

Another way we can cultivate righteousness in our lives is by being accountable to others. We can seek out the support and encouragement of other Christians who can help us to stay on track and to grow in our faith. We can also be honest and transparent about our struggles and shortcomings, and seek the help and forgiveness of God when we fall short.

Righteousness is about living a life that is pleasing to God. It is not something that we can achieve on our own, but it is a gift that we can receive through our faith in Jesus Christ.
