Good and Righteousness

The devil likes to detour Saints away from Truth where God’s Words and God’s meanings lose their Heavenly meaning. Good is one of the devil’s best work.

The tree God forbade Adam & Eve to eat from was the tree of the knowledge of good & evil. Why? For one, obviously, evil is easily recognized as not being from God. But good is just as much a deviate.

Righteousness comes from the Tree of Life. Neither good nor evil are Righteous, which is of the Life of God.

If it is not Righteousness it is unholiness. God’s word appears several hundred times in Scripture.

The Greek for Righteousness is dikaiosune. It speaks of the Life of God. Oftentimes people think of it as a characteristic of God, but any characteristic is of the life of the subject. Look at two profound verses that give us God’s meaning…

·         2 Corinthians 5:21, For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

…to be MADE demands God’s Life.

·         Matthew 5:20, For I say unto you That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of God.

…to EXCEED the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees demands God’s Life.

Righteousness, a grand parabolic Truth with a Heavenly meaning. Speak Righteousness to speak of the Life of God. Try it in every verse.
