500. The Importance of Righteousness (#4) March 1, 2024

Welcome to Wisdom Today with Bill Kelley. Today we will be going over Proverb 1. I will then key in on verse 33 - But whoever listens to me (wisdom) will dwell safely, And will be secure without fear of evil. Friends, along with being righteous, God also would like for us all to have wisdom and to live our life using wisdom. On today's podcast we will wrap up our series on the importance of having righteousness in our lives. By the end of this lesson I ask that you consider the following three things: 1. Righteousness is something God wants from us. 2 Tim. 3:16; Matthew 5: 19-20 2. Righteousness is something we must practice. 2 Tim 2:22; Romans 6:13; 1 John 3:10 3. Righteousness is something we can increase in . Romans 6:16; 2 Corin 9:10 The Benefits of living righteous lives Matthew 6:31-33; Mathew 13:43; 2 Tim 4:7-8 Call to Action - Make a not somewhere about the four podcasts this week on righteousness: Episodes 496, 498, 499, & 500. Some topics are so important that we need to be reminded of them and listen to them several times for them to truly become embedded in our hearts. I believe righteousness is certainly one of those topics. Suggested Scripture reading - Reread the proverb of the day, Proverb 1 in its entirety; read Proverb 2 tomorrow; & Proverb 3 on Sunday.
