Seek The Righteousness Of God

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." Matthew 5:6 (NIV)

As part of The Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught that those who really seriously sought after God's righteousness would receive it. According to John Mac Arthur, they will have a right relationship with God. Thomas Nelson says that they will enjoy a complete satisfaction which only God can give them.

The Word of God is powerful, it can do what nothing else can do. The Word of God caused the heavens, and the earth, and everything therein to come into existence. We must recognize only God is truly righteous, and for us to be righteous we must share His righteousness. To those who diligently study His Word, God will share His power. To those who truly seek His righteousness, like a hungry person seeks food and a thirsty person seeks a drink, they will be satisfied.
