Righteousness

1 Samuel 12:7  

Now then, stand here, because I am going to confront you with evidence before the LORD as to all the righteous acts performed by the LORD for you and your fathers.

1 Samuel 26:23  

The LORD rewards every man for his righteousness and faithfulness. The LORD delivered you into my hands today, but I would not lay a hand on the LORD's anointed.

2 Samuel 22:21  

“The LORD has dealt with me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.

2 Samuel 22:25  

The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in his sight.

Things Men Can Do

Be lost after receiving eternal life

John 17:2  

For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him.

Be separated from God by going back into sin

Isaiah 59:2  

But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.

Thoughts

~ John Wesley once wrote, “God does nothing but by prayer, and everything with it.”

~ Prayer does not mean simply to pour out one's heart.  It means rather to find the way to God and to speak with him, whether the heart is full or empty. - Dietrich Bonhoeffer

~ Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. - Francis of Assisi
