What is The King's Righteousness? The Right Position

We must seek first the Kingdom of God but we are to seek also His righteousness.
Both parts complete the whole. God’s Kingdom cannot be separated from His righteousness. God is righteous an his Kingdom is righteous.

We are not righteous on our own. Only righteous people enter the Kingdom. When we are born again through repentance of sin and faith in Christ, he declarers us righteous on the basis of the righteousness of His Son.

Now we gain entrance into the Kingdom. This transaction is call justification. We are now declared innocent just as if we never committed an offense. We receive royal pardon from the King.

We be come natural citizens of the Kingdom. All of the rights, privileges and resources of the Kingdom become ours. We are accountable to the King and come under the administration and government of the Kingdom.

Righteousness is a legal term. it means “Right Positioning”. To be in correct alignment with the ruling standard. This means we know the laws of our Kingdom Government and we do not violate them.

A righteous person is in right standing with Authority. Our authority is God. We abide by the laws and standards of his government. We aren’t fearful and our minds are clear. Law breaking breaks fellowship and right standing with the ruling authority.

Sin is rebellion against God’s Kingly authority. Jesus can to earth to restore us back to the Kingdom and through his death we could be made righteous in Him. Jesus came and died so we could enter the Kingdom.
