What does the Bible say about hungering for righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that those who hunger and thirst for righteousness will be filled, highlighting the need for divine righteousness that only God can provide.

In Matthew 5:6, Jesus says, 'Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.' This hunger signifies a deep awareness of our need for a righteousness that we cannot achieve on our own. Scripture teaches us that all men are void of righteousness (Romans 3:10), and true hunger for righteousness is a gift from God, acknowledging our complete lack and pointing us toward the righteousness found in Jesus Christ alone.
