When the Righteous Rule
Text: Proverbs 29.2, 21.2, 12.15, Isaiah 64.6, Philippians 3.8-10, Isaiah 53.5, Deuteronomy 6.4
Who are the righteous? There’s a difference between good and bad, light and dark, righteous and unrighteous. There is no middle ground.
Righteousness: acting in accordance with moral law
What is your standard of righteousness?
Feelings are a reality but that doesn’t make
them God.
The righteous are those who believe in and adapt to Jesus and His ways. The righteousness of God produces the power of resurrection in our lives.
Transgression: inequity, wickedness
If the church isn’t living right then why would the world even look? God values freedom so much that He gave you a will to choose how you want to live.
God sets patterns to protect you from what will destroy you, not to keep you from being fulfilled.
We’ve got to make up our own mind to live right. Sin is missing the mark and there is a consequence. Grace is giving you another opportunity to get into the right position before God.
He expects us to be other than. The church is depending on signs and wonders to get the world’s attention instead of our own changed lives.
There is a position for righteousness. We can’t demand righteousness of others if we aren’t living right. It starts with us.
We’ve got to be righteous in our community so that our churches are governing our cities again.
