52 Weekly Devotions The
Bible uses the word "righteousness" extensively throughout the Old and New Testaments.
it is a work we do not often use, if at all, in our daily conversation. A reliable
biblical definition comes from Spiros Zodhites, a highly respected Greek scholar:
That
which is right, conformable to right, pertaining to right, that which is just.
This is expected by the one who sets the rules and regulations whereby man must
live, whether that be society or God. Therefore, it means that which is expected
as duty and which is claimed as a right because of one's conformity to the rules
of God or society. The
righteousness of God is a standard of life governed by that which is right. What
connects man to God's righteousness is faith, a firm persuasion, conviction and
belief in the truth. "The righteous man shall live by his fait" is a foundational
statement tied directly to the gospel by Paul in Romans 1:16-17, who repeated
the clause in Gelations 3:11 (also quoted in Hebrews 10:38). This expression also
became the watchword of the Reformation, helping Martin Luther to appreciate the
truth of justification (make righteous) by faith. "This text," said Luther, "was
to me the true gate of Paradise."
This
book defines what that important passage means in practical terms and illustrations
these principles in the lives of a number of men of faith. There are fifty-two
chapters to occupy the reader weekly in a meditation of the heart for the truth
about righteousness and how the man or woman of faith can experience it in the
details of life. |
