When you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, and repent and become a new creation, by becoming born again in Christ (born of water and Spirit), you will become the righteousness of God; the just. Through regeneration, your heart and nature will change and therefore your life will change. You no longer belong to the darkness, but through regeneration in Christ, you have been transferred from the darkness into the Kingdom of God and you shall walk on the way of the just. What does the Bible say about the way of the just?
What does the Bible say about the way of the just?
The way of the just is uprightness:
thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.
For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
The way of the Lord is strength to the upright:
but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
The integrity of the upright shall guide them:
but the perverseness of transgressors shall destroy them.
The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them:
but transgressors shall be taken in their own naughtiness.
By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted:
but it is overthrown by the mouth of the wicked.
They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the Lord:
but such as are upright in their way are his delight.
The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood:
but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them.
Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way:
but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
The house of the wicked shall be overthrown:
but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord:
but the prayer of the upright is his delight.
The highway of the upright is to depart from evil:
he that keepeth His way preserveth his soul.
A wicked man hardeneth his face:
but as for the upright, he directeth his way.
Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit:
but the upright shall have good things in possession.
The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.
An unjust man is an abomination to the just:
and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.
The just shall live by faith
