How does one follow after righteousness and mercy?
Answered in 1 source
To follow after righteousness and mercy, one must fervently seek God's grace, acknowledging their own need as a helpless sinner.
Following after righteousness and mercy involves a sincere and desperate quest for God's grace, recognizing our own inability to attain righteousness on our own. In his sermon, the preacher emphasizes a heart that cries out for mercy, much like the publican in Luke 18:13. It means coming before God with humility, admitting one's spiritual need, and seeking the righteousness that can only be imputed by Christ. This journey is characterized by fervent reliance on God's promises, a continuous engagement with Scripture, and a desire to grow in understanding of His mercies, assuring believers that as they seek, they will find.
