Text: Proverbs 21:21, Matthew 6:33, 2 Corinthians 5:21

The topic of righteousness is one any serious Christian or church cannot avoid. Righteousness is one of the major attributes of God.
God is righteous because He will always do right.
God is righteous because He is right in His views, He is right in His thinking, He is right in His Words, He is right with His reactions towards us, and His direction is right.

When you have a right standing with God, you are holy.
There is a need for works or obedience in keeping righteous.

The eternal life Jesus Christ gives us makes us righteous.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer.

In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention.
