Righteousness
The Greek word for righteousness is …. “ dikaiosyne “ which is the LORD God always acts in righteousness .
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;
love and faithfulness go before you… Psalm 89: 14
but let him who boasts boast about this:
that he understands and knows me,
that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness,
justice and righteousness on earth,
for in these I delight,"
declares the LORD…… Jer. 9:24
That is He always has a right relationship with people and His action is to maintain that relationship .
As God acts in righteousness ( because HE IS righteous ) so He called Israel to be righteous as His chosen people . They were placed in a covenant in right relationship with Him through faith and were expected to live in right relationship with others .
Abraham was an example of a righteous man . Abraham was in a ‘ right relationship” with God .
Gen 21:1-7 And not only that but he trusted God completely and fully .
How many of us would have put their only son on an alter to kill him as a sacrifice as God had asked ?
Abrahams faith in God is a genuine example to us . Righteousness is revealed from faith - For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith ….. Romans 1:17
Righteousness is through our faith in God .
