What Did I Say About Righteousness?

You want to know what I said about righteousness? Let Me remind you.

In Matthew 5:6, I said: “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.”
If you deeply long for righteousness-truly crave what is right-you will be satisfied.

In Matthew 5:10, I said: “Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
If you suffer because you chose what’s right, you are not forgotten. The Kingdom belongs to you.

In Matthew 5:20, I said: “Except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.”
Outward religion isn’t enough. Righteousness must reach your heart. Hypocrisy has no place in My Kingdom.

In Matthew 6:33, I said: “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
Put God’s righteousness first-not comfort, not control. Then your needs will be met in Him.

In Luke 18:14, I said about the humble tax collector: “This man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.”

Righteousness begins with humility. It is not self-made. It is received when the heart bows low.

Why Do My Words Matter? Why Should You Listen to Me?

Because I speak only what the Father gave Me-and His righteousness is what leads to eternal life.
In John 12:49-50, I said: “For I have not spoken of Myself; but the Father which sent Me… gave Me a commandment… and I know that His commandment is life everlasting.”
The call to righteousness isn’t just for the strong-it’s for the humble who come to the Father through Me.

And in Matthew 24:35, I said: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away.”
Worldly standards change. But the call to righteousness-the hunger for holiness-will never pass away.

So if you’re still asking, “What did You say about righteousness?”Here’s My answer:
Hunger and thirst for it-and you will be filled.

Be ready to suffer for it-it’s worth it. Let it go deeper than religion-let it reach your heart.
Seek first the Kingdom and His righteousness. Be humble-and you will be justified.

This is the life the Father calls you to live.
