Righteousness

What if you never had to defend your actions, justify your words, or prove we are right in our beliefs? What if the pressure is off. We will be publically vindicated on the Great Last Day for our faith in Jesus. Every time we've been ridiculed, suffered for righteousness sake, sacrificed for the benefit of another, and gone the extra mile for love's sake, we will be shown to be right. Good. Holy. Just. And when we've failed and repented and returned to Jesus we will be vindicated before God. That's God's gift: we are declared righteous by grace through faith. Thanks be to God.
