Blessed Are Those Who Hunger for Righteousness

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. All are unclean, everyone of you. Your so-called righteous acts are like a menstrual rag in my sight. And yet because you trust in me, you have received my righteousness and holiness. I have redeemed you with my shed blood on the cross. I, who had no sin, became sin for you so that you might become the righteousness of God.

“I am the righteous Branch from David’s line. The name by which I am called is: ‘The Lord Our Righteous Savior.’ For all who believe in me and come into me, you are now—by my blood—righteous in my Father‘s sight. Through me you will be saved from God’s wrath. Therefore, hunger and thirst for righteousness. Stop sinning, for you are now covered by my blood, filled with my Spirit, and being made holy.” – Jesus
