'Righteousness Is Required Of Us.'
a) 1 John 3:12. Abel was Righteous, but it cost him his life.
b) Job 22:3. Being Righteous does not gain us "goodie points" with God.
c) Luke 1:6. Zechariah and Elizabeth were Righteous in the sight of God. Even though they were childless and very old.
(This QT reminds me clearly that Righteousness Is Required Of Me)

'God's Judgment On Rebellion.'
Numbers 16:32.
a) The Earth opened its mouth.
b) The Earth swallowed them up.
c) Going down into the Earth, were:-
1-All of Korah's men.
2-Their families.
3-Everything they own.

Chris.
I know and understand clearly that Righteousness is required of me. This is not self-righteousness, that is no good. It is not pretending to be Righteous - which is living a lie. Rather it is Righteousness that is rooted in the Fear of the Lord.
