What does the Bible say about hunger and thirsting for righteousness?

In Luke 6:21, Jesus says, 'Blessed are ye that hunger now, for ye shall be filled.' This hunger is not merely physical but speaks to a deep spiritual longing for communion with God and understanding His grace. When believers recognize their spiritual poverty, as described earlier in the Sermon on the Plain, they develop an intense desire to know more about the Lord who has saved them by grace. This spiritual hunger is linked to the richness of His grace in Christ, ensuring that those who seek Him genuinely will find satisfaction in Him.
