How Do We Identify A Righteous Person? by tobechi20(m): 8:01am On Dec 15, 2019 |
Is a righteous person one who is compassionate, kind, generous? Or is he one who just gets along with others for the sake of peace? Or is he one who just speaks up against evil in his environment Or he who does not steal, commit adultery etc.while not committing any good (ASSUME GOOD AND BAD IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE) Sct That is, is righteousness based on the good act we do or bad act we don't or constant thought and speech on good and bad act. Two scenarios: MR X worked in a government establishment where fund was constantly embezzled. He spoke against it constantly and never partook in them. The crooks set him up and almost got sacked in the process. Finally, he was posted to another government organization In this new organization, he didn't speak up against corruption. he would watch an keep mute. At times,he is giving a part of corrupt proceed. He decided to use the money to feed less privileged, pay stranger school free etc. IN WHICH OF THE ABOVE CASES CAN WE CALL HIM A RIGHTEOUS MAN. |

How about you bothered about living a life that focuses more on minding your own business instead of giving a fok about those living a godly and unrighteous life When will Nigerian Christians understand that Christianity is a PERSONAL RACE NOT A GROUP JOURNEY 6 Likes 1 Share |

A righteous person is a person who knows what is RIGHT and do it. When you see someone doing GOOD, doing the RIGHT thing at the RIGHT time, definitely, he is a righteous man. righteous man can't hurt you Can't bribe you Can't mock you Can't gossip about you Can't criticise you, and lots more.

None is righteous,in fact your trying to be righteous is an abomination to GOD,Man is inherently unrighteous and sinful. The fact that Mr X has not taken part in fraud is not a sign that he is righteous. 2 Likes |

tobechi20:In case A Robbing Peter to pay Paul is unrighteous in the sight of God Is 64:6 All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away. |

The only righteous person is the person who's keeping the ten (10) commandments, if you can find one, then you've found a righteous person. |

stevmatt: You painted the canvas well, although you should added that the only person that determines righteous acts is God so we need to know what he wants as righteous acts. So like a poster said up there, consult your Bible. Shalom. 1 Like |

OP, to really answer your question, I have come out of your context. Good works obviously come with righteousness but can also be displayed without it, (this would be morality which brings along good rewards of creation, if not from men) but this cannot pass in the presence of God. The true test of righteousness, however, is simply the SOURCE of the good works. If they come from our self discipline, they remain just morality and will bring us good rewards of creation but if they come from the spring of Christ's seed in a man's spirit, they are the proof of indwelling righteousness in a man. And if the man allows the Christ seed to possess him and subdue his carnal tendencies completely, he will become ultimately the manifestation of God's righteousness. (Php 1:11, 3:9). As for those saying righteousness is nonexistent and impossible, that's why God had to die so that the impossibility can now be possible. So it is possible for those that can activate the mystery of Christ's sacrifice and not just for any Christian 5 Likes |
