In my experience of walking with God, I have understood that the greatest learning; above every other learning is the learning of Jesus.
Jesus is a completion to all the ancient experiences of God from Adam to Noah to Abraham to Job and to everybody who has walked with God and who will walk with God.
This is because everyone that ever walked with God walked with faith. It was not easily available to the people of old but whoever was chosen by God walked in faith.
And so, with the gospel of Jesus, the righteousness of God -which is built around faith – is revealed and made available to us.
Romans 1:17~For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”
It is therefore only through this means that a righteous person shall live.
I have come across a lot of desperate people who are living without the life of Jesus in them. They do all manner of wickedness and sensual living. And to them, that is enjoyment.
To them, if it is possible, Christianity should be scrapped to allow them a great deal of justification in their evil ways.
They want a good, perfect and sane nation. They actually know what to do to get what they want.
Romans 1:19-20~since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
However, on daily basis they invest in contradiction to what they want. Building investments which they would not patronize or allow their children to patronize even as customers.
Even Jesus referred to his disciples (when he had not commissioned them for the gospel) as being evil. If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children,~Mathew 7:11.
And the Bible has referred to them as fools who think they are wise.
Romans 1:21-22~For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools.
It is important not to think of any other type of righteousness except the righteousness of the gospel of Jesus.
With Jesus, our conscience is justified and we can feel the freedom within. This is also a level of peace. May you receive grace to be righteous.
