May I ask you this very serious question? Do you have the PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS needed to enter into the holy presence of Almighty God (Rom. 4:5,10:2-4, 1 Cor. 1:30, Eph. 2:8-9)? That is exactly what Almighty God has provided in the person of Jesus Christ for all those of Adam’s fallen race who will receive Almighty God's Son and pardon (John 1:12, 3:16-17, Acts 4:12, Rom. 3:23; 6:23; 10:2-4; 2 Cor. 5:21).
These turbulent and troubling days are only going to get worse. There is nothing we can do to stop what is happening and that which will come to pass (Matt. 24, Rev. 6-19). We are indeed at the Alamo in our world today with lawlessness and moral relativism EXPONENTIALLY abounding. May it be your sole desire to look “outside the box” of your time-constrained worldview, and PLACE your faith in Almighty God who so loved the world that He sent His Son to die for your sins and mine, i.e., the sins of the entire world (John 3:16-17). That is what our very brief existence on planet earth is all about - To having a saving and living relationship with our Creator in SPIRIT and TRUTH (reality) - John 4:24.
May you my dear friend place a ALL your expectations in Him alone for your ETERNAL - as well as temporal - well-being (1 Peter 5:7; Rev. 1:5). You will never be the same, no, NEVER!
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
This is good stuff..it is solid meat for the soul. It makes you think about your faith.
Yup. He gave it to me.
Righteousness is the current word for holiness.
Try your article with the word “Holiness” and don’t be so politically correct.
Awesome! That is what it is all to do.. consider the REALITY of Jesus Christ/Messiah and His soon coming.
My friend take the Gospel of John Challenged it will indeed open your eyes. See for your self! and let me know what you think! God speed!

friend,
Look up the inspired Greek and you will find that the word “holy” means sanctification and it is used of believers who are...saints (set apart-ones)... it is the same inspired Greek word. Righteousness and holiness are two different words.
