Bible Teachings
Righteous or Self-Righteous
Hello Brothers and Sisters to another Bible Teachings, before we get started there is going to be multiple chapters that are similar to this one and the Witness or Warriors chapters. These chapters are going to have deeper discuss about how we live our life, what the different between the two and what choices we take when becoming either first or second. Here we are to discuss one that seems to get lost or forgotten when we serve our Lord Jesus or try to live this way outside of God's presence. Many times when we try to be righteous on our own, we miss the point of what it means to be righteous.
Self-Righteous
Let's start with how many times in our lives when we say what is right and wrong and act upon, what rights are we basing off them? Self-righteous as it means are taking our own perspective into place, how our own experience dictate our lives, what our own beliefs compare to others or other means that involves ourselves or others opinion. Cause the reality is no one is righteous in our own strength and power. For all come short to glory of God, and all of us are born sinners to this world and it's own corrupt wicked ways. For this world has a ruler that is unseen and that's the Devil, for his own pride makes himself appear right and better in his own eyes. Even when we aren't prideful or arrogant we tend to lose ourselves in our own self-righteous ways, cause how we live determines what is right and what is wrong. Make no mistake, there are many good people that truly do live right as they should, yet equally many are still living without God in their life. As such many so called good people are truly blind to the sins of this world and to their own souls. For all of us are meant towards pre-destine eternal damnation, but thanks to our Lord Jesus for what he has done, we have a way to our heavenly father and many who went up before us living with our Lord today.
This has cause problems over the ways and will continue this way because we want to believe we are righteous and how we are good people that live this way. Yet while there are still people who have realize they aren't all good and are considered bad. They instead say this world is not black and white and only gray, that there is no good or bad, that we can live whatever we want. Those that think this will be judge righteous by our heavenly father and we will answer for all accounts done by the body, done by our actions, from the moment we are born to when we die. Our life as always been planned out by God and when we turn to him we live how God intended for our lives. But that comes done to our own freedom of choice. Many will tell you there is no such thing as choice, yet many of the media say we can chose to be what we want. God made us with the ability of choice, rather we freely chose God is debatable at best. Because all of us born chose ourselves and our own blind ways. Folks the reality is when we judge others of their wrongs, we will be judge at the great white thrown of God. That means when we declare our own self-righteous ways outside of God or falsely declare God's way on others and judge them by speaking of their sins and forcing our own ways on others, we will be judge the same. For all are born and die with equal rewards, and we will be judge rightly by how we judge those around us.
Folks I want everyone for a moment to read what is said here and then close your eyes imagine what is spoken here with me for a moment. Sometimes we have our own definitions and meanings to everything. But here we will give an definition, first imagine yourself or your friends, family, lover or any scenario you want walks around the streets and see all these people. Now what you see is your everyday life and see what people do in their lives rather they drink, smoke, addicted to drugs, or anything you believe is wrong in your eyes and thoughts. Now imagine yourself of someone you dislike the most and you made yourself a courtroom. That courtroom has all the ways that makes the current courts of today. There is the judge, the jury, the witnesses, the defendants, the attorney, and the people behind watching everything play out rather if it's full, small or no one there is not the point.
Think about how the self-righteous would play this out in their minds. He/she will become the judge and will base of the rights and wrongs on their minds. They have the laws and have what they considered is broken, now imagine that person they are judging now is the defendant. With the exception of no jury, no audience, no attorney, no witness even except you the judge and the him/her place at the defendant seat, and instead of hearing their case you declare "GUILTY" without evidence, second chances or anything of the kind. That is how everyone that lives by their own self-righteous ways. Now imagine for a moment when you die, you are then sent towards the Great White Thrown of God and this time, your the defendant and the scenario is basically the same. Except God has witness to testify your life, how you lived and what actions you have done good and evil. That witness for the most part is your body, that's right how you treat your body is also a witness as God created you the way he wanted and now you are being judge by not only your sins, but how you allowed sin to carry your life. Once it's done and has read your entire life, you who chose your ways over God's will be rightfully guilt and sent to prison, in this case Hell that is meant for Satan and his fallen angels.
Now I want ask you how to imagine what Heaven and Hell will look like, especially hell but know that anything you considered the worse, your fears or anything will be nothing if not worse then that. Next time we will discuss the Righteous ways through God and how even when we know this there is always room to improve and make right in our everyday life by choices and moments we take towards God.
