Be Righteous

Righteousness:  It is the Truth of Morality that must be Held High:

There is more than one description that entails what righteousness is all about.  However, in every facet of identification we must  hold dear to our position in life’s encounters the very essence that begins with God and is no less an equality of every human being.  

Let’s look at the abuse of  personal attitudes towards our neighbors.  As in the quest to get ahead; like keeping up with the Joneses; trying to be better than they appear to be and becoming proud in the effort to get ahead.  We already have become unrighteous and unfair towards our neighbor.

The ethnicity that seems to collapse when our tenure leans heavily on being unfair and failing to show respect for others, no matter how often they seem to be better than we are.  Finding an ethical way to agree with someone who even though they do not adhere to standards of right, good, and proper conduct, they still are our brothers and sisters under God and that respect is essential in the eyes of God.

Righteousness or the state of being righteous; conformity to the divine or the moral law;  Rectitude, Uprightness:  

Rectitude means moral uprighteous, honesty, and exact conformity to God’s standard of truth, justice, and righteousness.  (From Webster).

Having a clear conscience or a strong sense of judgment, especially when others are being considered becomes a divine act of fairness by living a life that is honest, fair, and pure.  At no time may we take the attitude of acting with a superior personality in any type of human intellect as being a know-it-all.   

How often we might want to be the master of anything that comes before us and so as not to be undone we will stand up and disapprove of another who actually is much more adept on the subject and show a prideful attitude that you know best.   Right or wrong,  this has the all the contents of being unrighteous towards another which treats another in a moral attitude that is not a premise of Almighty God.

What occurs is an unrighteous attitude that if not corrected will become a judgment on you and the very opposite of Righteousness which is God.
