How do we know that God fills those who are hungry and thirsty for righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

God fills the hungry and thirsty for righteousness by satisfying their cravings with the righteousness of Christ (Matthew 5:6).

The spiritual state of being hungry and thirsty for righteousness indicates an empty soul that can only be filled by something outside of itself. In Matthew 5:6, the promise 'they shall be filled' serves as a guarantee from Christ that those who genuinely seek righteousness will be satisfied. This satisfaction comes from being gorged with Christ's righteousness—believers are made as righteous as God himself through Christ's atoning work. This reality assures us that those who are aware of their spiritual poverty and seek Christ will receive the fullness of His righteousness, making them blessed in the sight of God.
