RIGHTEOUSNESS - the gold standard!
Set your heart so that righteousness is its standard.
Jesus' death removes the punishment for sin. His righteousness removes the compulsion to sin.
Sin's problem is not just isolated to mankind's willingness to entertain it, but his complete inability to divide good from evil.
The pursuit of righteousness compels men everywhere to refuse sin's passions, that they become instruments in the service of the Lord. Thus, they live for righteousness, and no longer wickedness.
Count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus ...for sin shall not be your master ... you have been set free from sin ... to righteousness which leads to holiness. (Excerpts from Romans 6:11, 14, 18 & 19)
Disciples of Christ are already equipped for this task, each is supported by an abundant provision of grace.
