Our assurance is anchored in the love and grace of God expressed in the glorious exchange: our sin for His righteousness.
Tullian Tchividjian
Image
Passive righteousness tells us that God does not need our good works. Active righteousness tells us that our neighbor does. The aim and direction of good works are horizontal, not vertical.
Tullian Tchividjian
Image
Self-righteousness is the fruit of a low view of God's law and a lite view of your own sin.
Tullian Tchividjian
Image
Mortification from a self-strength, carried on by ways of self-invention, unto the end of a self-righteousness, is the soul and substance of all false religion in the world.
John Owen
Image
For godliness is not the consequence of your capacity to imitate God, but the consequence of His capacity to reproduce Himself in you not self-righteousness, but Christ-righteousness the righteousness which is by faith
W. Ian Thomas
Image
People notice peacemakers because they dress funny. We know how the people who make war dress - in uniforms and medals, or in computers and clipboards, or in absoluteness, severity, greed, and cynicism. But the peacemaker is dressed in righteousness, justice, and faithfulness - dressed for the work that is to be done.
Walter Brueggemann
Image
We must remember that in time of war what is said on the enemy's side of the front is always propaganda and what is said on our side of the front is truth and righteousness, the cause of humanity and a crusade for peace.
Walter Lippmann
Image
Friendships are the purer and the more ardent, the nearer they come to the presence of God, the Sun not only of righteousness but of love.
Walter Savage Landor
Image
If you don't have a righteous objective,eventually you will suffer. When you do the right thing for the right reason,the right result awaits.
Chin-Ning Chu
Image
Most soulish believers assume an attitude of self-righteousness, though often it is scarcely detectable. They hold tenaciously to their minute opinions we ought to lay aside the small differences and pursue the common objective.
Watchman Nee
Image
The God of the Bible is the God of liberation rather than oppression a God of justice rather than injustice a God of freedom and humanity rather than enslavement and subservience a God of love, righteousness and community rather than hatred, self-interest and exploitation.
Allan Boesak
Image
Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because America is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.
Alexis de Tocqueville
Image
Did Christians live according to their Religion, they would do nothing but what Truth, Righteousness, and Goodness do, according to their understanding and ability: and then one man would be a God unto another.
Benjamin Whichcote
Image
That which of all things unfits man for the reception of Christ as a Savior, is not gross profligacy and outward, vehement transgression, but it is self-complacency, fatal self-righteousness and self-sufficiency.
Alexander MacLaren
Image
True religion is real living living with all one's soul, with all one's goodness and righteousness.
Albert Einstein
Image
Canada has a passive-aggressive culture, with a lot of sarcasm and righteousness. That went with my weird messianic complex. The ego is a fascinating monster. I was taught from a young age that I had to serve, so that turned into me thinking I had to save the planet.
Alanis Morissette
Image
Good with out evil is like light with out darkness which in turn is like righteousness whith out hope.
William Shakespeare
Image
Self-righteousness is the inevitable fruit of simple moral judgments.
Reinhold Niebuhr
Image
Our error today is that we do not expect a converted man to be a transformed man, and as a result of this error our churches are full of substandard Christians. A revival is among other things a return to the belief that real faith invariably produces holiness of heart and righteousness of life.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
Image
It means, people who are in high and responsible positions, if they go against righteousness, righteousness itself will get transformed into a destroyer.
Abdul Kalam
Image
Filial Piety is the principle of Heaven, The righteousness of Earth, And the (proper) conduct of the people.
Zengzi
Image
And this is the mission of the church--not civilization, but salvation--not better laws, purer legislation, social elevation, human equality and liberty, but first, the kingdom of God and His righteousness regenerated hearts, and all other things will follow.
Abbott Eliot Kittredge
Image
My description of wisdom has nothing to do with benevolence and righteousness, it is to do with being wise in one's own virtue, nothing more. My description of being has nothing to do with benevolence and righteousness, it is that one should be led by one's innate nature, nothing more.
Zhuangzi
Image
We begin life with the natural, next we come into the spiritual but then, when we have truly received the kingdom of God and His righteousness, the natural is added to the spiritual, and we are able to receive the gifts of His providence and the blessings of life without becoming centered in them or allowing them to separate us from Him.
