The righteous

What is the opposite of lawlessness (sin, rebellion), it is righteous. Righteous means; decency, integrity, morality, honesty or purity.

"Then the righteous shall shine forth as the sun in the reign of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear! Matthew 13:43.

The righteousness of Elohim (Almighty) is through belief in Yahusha Messiah to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the esteem of Elohim, being declared right, without paying, by His favor (grace) through the redemption which is in Messiah Yahusha, whom Elohim set forth as an atonement, through belief in His blood, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His tolerance Elohim had passed over the sins that had taken place before, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He is righteous and declares righteous the one who has belief in Yahusha - Romans 3:22-26.

I speak as a man, because of the weakness of your flesh. For even as you did present your members as servants of uncleanness, and of lawlessness resulting in lawlessness, so now present your members as servants of righteousness resulting in set-apartness (Holiness) - Romans 6:19.

Who Himself (Messiah) bore our sins in His body on the timber (cross), so that we, having died to sins, might live unto righteousness by whose stripes you were healed - 1 Peter 2:24.

Let it not be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? - Romans 6:2.

Because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, so that he no longer lives the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men (world), but according to the desire of Elohim - 1 Peter 4:1-2.

Little children, let no one lead you astray. The one doing righteousness is righteous, even as He (Messiah) is righteous. The one doing sin is of the devil,....... 1 John 3:7-8.

If you know that He (Messiah) is righteous, you know that everyone doing righteousness has been born of Him (Messiah) - 1 John 2:29.

All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not unto death. We know that everyone having been born of Elohim does not sin,........ - 1 John 5:17-18.

The righteous shall inherit the earth, and dwell in it forever. The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom,....... - Psalms 37:29-30.

Let the righteous flourish in His days, with plenty of peace,..... Psalms 72:7.

Open to me the gates of righteousness; I enter through them, I thank Yah. This is the gate of Yahuah (Heavenly Father), the righteous enter through it - Psalms 118:20-21.

Yahuah opens the eyes of the blind, Yahuah raises those who are bowed down, Yahuah loves the righteous - Psalms 146:8.

"Then you shall again see the difference between the righteous and the wrong (sin), between one who serves Elohim and one who does not serve Him - Malachi 3:18.

"He who does wrong (sin), let him do more wrong; he who is filthy, let him be more filthy; he who is righteous, let him be more righteous; he who is set-apart (holy), let him be more set-apart - Revelation 22:11.

Very clear in the above scripture verses that those who are truly born again, must became and live righteously.

The next time someone tells you that nobody can be righteous, then you can prove it to them by showing them the above verses.

Please take note very important: This righteous is not for self or to inflict on someone else but it is a righteous to Yahuah/Yahusha only. When you and I live righteously, it is for Yahuah our Creator only!

Righteousness is he who follows the correct path, the path of Yahuah, the Most High.

“Righteousness is conformity to the commands, mind and will of the Almighty Creator.”

Righteousness requires of us “to guard to do all these commands before Yahuah Elohim, as He commanded us” - Deuteronomy 6:25.

Psalms 119:172, “For all Your commands are righteousness.”

In Isaiah 51:7, “Listen to Me, you who know righteousness, you people in whose heart is My Torah* (commands).”

Many people do not understand this as many times they would tell me that I am trying to be righteous. It is not a religious righteous I am trying to be. But the scripture says this: it is righteous to the Almighty not to man or myself.

This is what the Messiah is meaning when He said our righteousness must exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees. They the scribes and the rabbis read and study the Torah* and they know everything about the Torah but they are not doing it for Him but for themselves. They were trying to keep the commands their way, that they were right or righteous. That is religious righteousness.

* Torah (Commands) = Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy are the Torah books.

Righteousness is he who follows the path of Yahuah and His Son Yahusha (Jesus).
