"“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.”— Matthew 5:6 . Righteousness is holiness, likeness to God, and “God is love.” 1 John 4:16 . It is conformity to the law of God, for “all Thy commandments are righteousness” ( Psalm 119:172 ), and “love is the fulfilling of the law” ( Romans 13:10 ). Righteousness is love, and love is the light and the life of God. The righteousness of God is embodied in Christ. We receive righteousness by receiving Him. MB 18"
