Walking in Righteousness

The practice of seeking the leadership of the Holy Spirit at every decision and turn and stop and start is the path to walking in righteousness. If we listen to the Spirit, He will always lead us away from error and sin and failure and into life and righteousness and freedom and success.

Now we know that whatever the law says speaks to those who are subject to the law, so that every mouth may be shut and the whole world may become subject to God’s judgment. For no flesh will be justified in His sight by the works of the law, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

But now, apart from the law, God’s righteousness has been revealed—attested by the Law and the Prophets—that is, God’s righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ, to all who believe, since there is no distinction. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. They are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. God presented Him as a propitiation through faith in His blood, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His restraint God passed over the sins previously committed. He presented Him to demonstrate His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be righteous and declare righteous the one who has faith in Jesus.
