Why is pursuing righteousness important for Christians?
Answered in 1 source
Pursuing righteousness is crucial for Christians as it aligns them with God's will and brings His blessings (Matthew 5:6).
Christians are called to hunger and thirst after righteousness, as stated in Matthew 5:6: 'Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.' Such pursuit not only reflects a sincere desire to live in accordance with God's laws but also fosters a deeper relationship with Him. When Christians prioritize righteousness, they advocate for moral integrity in their families, churches, and nations, thereby contributing to societal flourishing and fulfilling the Great Commission. Furthermore, the pursuit of righteousness enhances spiritual growth and strong fellowship within the body of Christ.
