Introduction:
Righteousness is defined as "the
quality of being morally correct and justifiable.
From a Christian perspective, righteousness is defined as being in
right standing with God
Numbers
23:19
"God is not
a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He
said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
-
We cannot live like the devil and expect God to work
great miracles in our live.
- Every word that God has spoken he will bring it to pass.
- Not because I say it but because God has already said
it.
- These promises are for the person that lives a righteous
life before God and believes what he says.
