Bible Question: WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO HUNGER AND THIRST AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS IN MATTHEW 5:6? |
Bible Answer: Righteousness defined. In the Bible righteousness simply means uprightness and right standing with God; conforming to God's will in purpose, thought, and action. AMPLIFIED Matthew 5:6 Blessed and fortunate and happy and spiritually prosperous (in that state in which the born-again child of God enjoys His favor and salvation) are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God), for they shall be completely satisfied! [Isa. 55:1, 2.] AMPLIFIED 1 John 3:10 By this it is made clear who take their nature from God and are His children and who take their nature from the devil and are his children: no one who does not practice righteousness [who does not conform to God’s will in purpose, thought, and action] is of God; neither is anyone who does not love his brother (his fellow believer in Christ). |
