Studying the names of God
YHWH Tsidkenu
(The Lord our Righteousness)
Jewish Virtual Library defines Righteousness in this way:
RIGHTEOUSNESS, the fulfillment of all legal and moral obligations. Righteousness is not an abstract notion but rather consists in doing what is just and right in all relationships; "…keep justice and do righteousness at all times"
Can you don that cap and gown? Something tells me that although you might suggest you earned that degree in righteousness, in reality, you just got jilted, and that degree on your wall is worth no more than a fake Picasso.
There is only One who has ever met that complete definition, and it ain't YOU!
Scroll back up and read that definition again.
I'm still waiting .....
We can NEVER achieve human righteousness on our own, We cannot risk that attempt, seeing that righteousness is the key to eternal life. That key is in the hands of only One, That One is Jesus the Messiah.
We are all leaving this planet, one way or the other; we have an appointment with death, and then there will be a judgment.
The scripture tells us that our righteousness is as filthy rags to YHWH Tsidkenu.
But God...
“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16 NLT
The only way that you or I will ever have access to that promise is to don the mantle of Yeshua the Messiah.
Seriously? That easy?
Yes, if you Believe.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Proverbs 3:5-6
If you do that, you will have His mantle of righteousness over you, and the righteousness you can boast in, is only and always His.
"Not only was He righteousness, but He was willing to give us His righteousness." MB
So seek the LORD while you still have His breath moving throughout your circulatory system. Apart from Him, you are already dead.
Seek YHWH Tsidkenu and LIVE!
Just ask Him to help you.
He will answer.
As Michele said today:
"God calls us to a RIGHT relationship with Him. Confess and repent and focus on Him."
"What a deal!"
He loves You
❤Jesus Truly LOVES YOU❤
We are so broken; He is so whole
And yet..He loves us
"What a deal!"
