What does the Bible say about hunger and thirst for righteousness?
Answered in 3 sources
The Bible teaches that those who hunger and thirst for righteousness are blessed and will be filled (Matthew 5:6).
In Matthew 5:6, Jesus declares, 'Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.' This hunger and thirst represent a deep spiritual yearning for righteousness that can only be fulfilled in Christ. Those who recognize their spiritual poverty and long for God's righteousness experience true blessing. The righteousness they seek is not their own, but that which comes through faith in Jesus Christ, the ultimate source of true righteousness.
