How do we know that we are blessed when we hunger and thirst for righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Our hunger and thirst for righteousness indicate that we possess spiritual life and are sensitive to our need for God's grace.

The hunger and thirst for righteousness are evidence of a believer's spiritual life and sensitivity to their need for God's gifts. As the sermon emphasizes, those who truly seek God’s righteousness recognize their own inadequacies and long for holiness. This yearning is not merely a lack but a sign of grace at work in their hearts, pointing to the genuine transformation brought by Christ. The promise that 'they shall be filled' conveys assurance that God fulfills the longings of those who truly seek Him, as confirmed in 1 Peter 1:3-5, which reinforces the hope that the righteous will experience fullness through faith in Christ.
