Allot of us struggle on just having an relationship with God. So meet God. God is righteous. Ezra 9:5 says "O LORD
God of Israel, thou art
righteous: for we remain yet escaped, as it is this day: behold, we are before thee in our trespasses: for we cannot stand before thee because of this."
God is righteous. What exactly is righteous? What does that word mean?
Now Righteous in this context means to be just and lawful.
Psalms 116:5 Gracious is the LORD, and
righteous; yea, our
God is merciful.
Daniel 9:14 Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our
God is
righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice.
Romans 2:5But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the
righteous judgment of
God;
Revelation 16:7And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord
God Almighty, true and
righteous are thy judgments.
Often times when we hear about God being righteous we also hear of him being a judge.
2 Timothy 4:8Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the
righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
God is righteous and he is the judge. Won't you meet him today?
