We need to practice righteousness
to be righteous in God’s eyes
● “Little children, let no one deceive you.
He who practices righteousness is righteous,
just as He is righteous. He who sins (habitually)
is of the devil … In this the children of God and
the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does NOT practice righteousness is NOT of God,
NOR is he who does NOT love his brothers and sisters.” (1 John 3:7-10)
Note above: the children of God practice righteousness and love their fellow BACs!
● “… whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.” (Acts 10:35)
● “… you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him” (1 John 2:29)
However, do all BACs (who are born of God)
practice righteousness?
In post #2, you will find 7 more NT verses
about practicing righteousness.
Some of the godly things we must do
to be practicing righteousness
● We must be doing God’s will
Those who do the will of Father God shall
enter the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 7:21).
Quite a lot of God’s will is listed below …
● We must be loving
We must love God and our fellow man
(Matthew 22:37-40, 1 John 3:10).
We must love our enemies (Matthew 5:43-46).
If we love Jesus, we will obey His commandments
(John 14:15,21,23).
Does anyone get into heaven who does not love Jesus?
● We must be merciful
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy (Matthew 5:7).
● We must be generous and do good works/deeds
If we feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty,
take in strangers, clothe the naked,visit the sick,
visit the prisoners, we will go into eternal life
(Matthew 25:34-46).
● We must be forgiving
If we do not forgive people, Father God will not forgive us (Matthew 6:14-15).
● We must be repenting of our sins
Paul sent a strong letter (1 Corinthians) to the Corinthian church concerning a terrible sexual sin, and this letter produced the desired result in the church. This whole passage was written to, about, and for … the Corinthian believers: “godly sorrow (over sin) produces repentance leading to salvation” (2 Corinthians 7:10).
