God's thoughts - righteous living.

Post by luchnia »

Anyone have any discussion points about what God thinks concerning a man who chooses and lives righteous?

I am sure there are hundreds of thoughts on this, yet here are 10 thoughts that quickly come to my mind:
1. God commands righteousness
2. It is blessed by God
3. Wisdom from above is utilized
4. No longer of the world
5. The righteous think on right things and follows that which is good
6. The Lord delivers them
7. They are trained in righteousness
8. Follow Christ example
9. Born from above
10. Knows the source of righteousness

I believe Christians are more righteous than they know, but less righteous than they think.

Here is the standard by which we are to live..."Be ye therefore perfect, even as your father which is in heaven is perfect." (Matt 5:48)

I see that with some folks because they do not understand how to keep a sane and humble approach to their standing. There are some scriptures that can quickly humble a man when he is at the point of high righteous thinking. It is a fine line, but one that must be drawn if maturity is to be had. Delivering thoughts out of the mind is one thing, but what comes out of the mouth is an entirely different matter and if that is not controlled issues arise.
