Bible Question: Hunger and Thirst for righteousness |
Bible Answer: Greetings FTJ - Although you did not ask a specific question, I will give you my observations. God has given us a desire for Himself (He has set eternity in our heart Ecc 3:11)I believe that this is what Jesus meant when He stated that "those who hunger and thirst for righteousness will be satisfied." Mt 5:6 Jesus is the righteousness of God - when we have Him, we are satisfied, because through His righteousness we are restored to a right relationship with God, which gives us identity and purpose. We have a foretaste of Heaven on earth as we seek our meaning through Jesus. In contrast, when we seek to have this need met elsewhere, we may be satisfied for the moment, but it is not lasting; the longing persists. God has given man a hunger and a thirst for Himself! Those who have not found their satisfaction or identity in Christ will go out into eternity with an unquenchable hunger and thirst that will burn forever! This ultimate separation from God is the "second death." (Rev 21:8) May God bless you as you contemplate His Word! mommapbs |
