“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you”. Matt 6:33

“The Amplified Bible describes righteousness as being made right with God and then consistently conforming to His will in thought, word and deed (see Romans 10:3). In other words, when we are made right with God, we begin to think right, we begin to talk right, and we begin to act right. It is a process in which we are continually making progress. The Holy Spirit works in us, helping us become the fullness of what the Father wants us to be in Christ. The outworking of righteousness – which is ultimately seen in right thoughts, words and actions – cannot begin until we accept our right standing with God through Jesus Christ. The starting point is the moment when we believe we are the righteousness of God in Christ according to 2 Corinthians 5:21.”
