Only God is just. Only God is good. Only God is righteous. This righteousness is given through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ, Who came to reveal the Father’s glory, justice, and goodness to ALL who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
Do you want to be righteous in God’s eyes? Believe His words: you cannot do anything on your own, without Jesus Christ; for all you do of yourself is vanity (sin and selfishness and delusion and emptiness and darkness): God Alone is the Giver of light, and God Alone can impart His light to the sinner who truly repents: and God Alone inspects the hearts of men, and He alone can tell the value of one’s repentance: whether genuine or not. But by their fruits ye will know them. Therefore, Bring ye forth fruits worthy of repentance. If you love Him, keep His commandments: it is the forgiving and self-sacrificing love of God alone that begets repentance in our sinful and cunning hearts, and it is repentance alone that opens our hearts to receive the love of God and invites His Spirit in our believing reborn hearts to do His works: and what is the greatest work that one man can do if not to speak the truth and have an absolute control over his tongue? The biggest boats are controlled only by one small rudder and the biggest man, by his tongue. For a man speaks out of that which his heart is full of: A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh; and truth is spoken when the heart is full of the love of God and humbly expresses gratitude in every word spoken thereof.
it is the truth to say, God is good, and it is gratitude to say, I will praise Him: and it is good fruits to praise Him openly in a song or in a personal testimony which speak of how God has worked spiritual and other miracles in your life to those who don’t know His love for them: We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God.
The love of God humbles the heart which is filled with the condemnation of being a sinner: the heart feels God’s disapproval and rejection from heaven and this causes expectancy for fatal finish, while the forgiving love of God erases this doom and gives the sinner another chance for holiness: for once the sinner believes in the love of God which forgives sins, his eyes are open to see the fullness of his misery and sinful nature which crucified the Son of God. Once the sinner is relieved from the condemnation of His heart, he has another chance to choose between holiness and sinfulness: if he chooses holiness, he will sin no more, and if sinfulness is chosen, the sacrifice of the LORD cannot relieve his sin.
