Measuring Righteousness
1 John 2:6
He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk,
even as he walked.
and True Faith
God Himself has Voiced, through others and in His written Word a staunch behaviour that is expected of Sons of God upon their own planet, and throughout the universe. A Godly righteous behaviour that will reflect, represent, and ensure the knowledge of God, His Righteous Good, and His Love upon any and all planets (mansions) throughout the universe (Father's House)!
How are we assured that we measure up to God's set standard of Righteousness, so not to perish following or living by our own ideas of righteousness?
How do we know if our righteousness does exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees?
Did God give wayward man no direction, nor tools of Godly Righteousness to follow? Is there any way the wayward can know how to be found worthy and righteousness enough to live in His Righteous Kingdom?
Jesus Christ does save and cleanse from all unrighteousness, but how do we KEEP ourselves saved and cleansed from all unrighteousness of evil and sin?
How do we KEEP ourselves in the love of God?
Abraham believed and obeyed the words that the LORD had Voiced to him, and it was accounted to him as righteousness!
Many are taught, or tell themselves, it's okay to sin a little, because the flesh is weak. These individuals completely ignore that the new creature/man in Christ (God's Righteousness) does walk in/after the Spirit of Righteousness, not the flesh! God knows they are not truly giving up the old man of sin! They want their cake and eat it too!
Many professed believers live-by excuses to sin! They claim they don't, but their words and deeds within disobedience speak differently.
They have been taught or have convinced their selves that they cannot be Righteous after Christ, when the LORD came down from Heaven (being Jesus Christ) to teach and Physically show what it takes to become a Son of God, being a Son of God Himself. Man's Physical Example to follow, to be Righteous!
Christians cannot pick and choose what they want to follow in Christ, or they will fail!!!!
Those that take the Lord's forgiveness for granted by seeking His forgiveness for the same sin over and over again, do not have a true faith or desire to overcome sin. They choose to continue to walk in the filth of sin and its unrighteousness. They do not truly walk in the forgiveness and cleansing of Christ with a Righteous heart, soul, and mind! They walk in their own forgiveness, cleansing, and righteousness!
God hates all sin. Sin is contrary to His Pure, Holy, and Righteous Good nature. Sin ruptures man's relationship with Him, and this does grieve God, because it does corrupt the Spirit and Soul of man that it cannot return to Him, preventing many from becoming Sons of God!
If man sows unrighteousness on this earth, so will he sow unrighteousness in heaven.
God doesn't wave a magic wand to make individuals righteous on earth or in heaven. They must want to be righteous of their own accord, to be able to spread Righteous Good throughout the universe (Kingdom).
If individuals cannot overcome sin in this lifetime upon their own planet, they will never overcome sin. God will not allow any sin whatsoever into His Righteous Kingdom. He keeps it contained/chained to its wayward planet.
There are conditions for inheriting the Kingdom of God.
Many professed believers believe they can continue in sin, especially sin unto death, and do not think for one minute that they are condemning themselves. They don't even see themselves as being a sinner, when they partake of the same sin that sinners partake of! They believe they are above reproach because they simply believe in Jesus Christ. They believe they don't have to overcome sin, that Jesus did it for them (no personal accountability). They honestly believe Jesus will keep forgiving their willful sin over and over again, but they are highly deceiving themselves! They believe they are unlike the sinners in the world, yet continually partake of the same sins of a sinner with no fear of God, accountability, or a second thought, because they claim to believe in and know Jesus Christ!
It does not say anywhere in scriptures that any sin whatsoever will be acceptable, yet so many are taught and believe they can continue to sin unto death and be guaranteed an eternal existence being a sinner! They have made Faith and Grace a cloak for sin! These individuals profess to believe in Jesus Christ, but they truly don't believe, nor do they truly know Jesus Christ (God) and His written Word , because they choose to reject and ignore how to overcome sin to be clothed in the same Righteousness of Christ. These professed individuals are the weak lukewarm in Christ, that are not truly born again (born of God)!
They do not walk in Righteousness. They walk in their own justification and excuses for their sin! (Sin always has to be justified, Good does not!)
All individuals can overcome the sin in the world, even as He has overcome the world, if they truly follow in His footsteps of Righteousness! Be of good cheer, it is possible to do all things in/through Christ, even keep the Ten Commandments (as He did)!
Time of the Gentiles is coming to a close real soon, and so many professing to be in Faith will be at the door saying, Lord Lord I have done all these things, but the door will be shut to them, because they have not made sure their calling and election is sure!
Many will continue to reject and refuse to see the truth until it is too late.
Will it be too late for you?
Will you be standing at the closed door?
Let us not allow our carnal will to be stronger than the Righteous Will of the Father!
Choose this day to be HOT, and not Lukewarm in the Righteousness of God that is Jesus Christ and His Ten Commandments!
John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
We pray many choose to truly serve God and His will of Righteousness this day, and forevermore!
Titus 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
How are we assured that we measure up to God's set standard of Righteousness, so not to perish following or living by our own ideas of righteousness?

Philippians 3:9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
Ecclesiastes 7:15-16 All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness. Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself?
Romans 10:3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

How do we know if our righteousness does exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees?

Matthew 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
Matthew 23:25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Matthew 23:27-28 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

Or should and do we seek full assurance?Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

It does not say anywhere in scriptures that any sin whatsoever will be acceptable, yet so many are taught and believe they can continue to sin unto death and be guaranteed an eternal existence being a sinner! They have made Faith and Grace a cloak for sin! These individuals profess to believe in Jesus Christ, but they truly don't believe, nor do they truly know Jesus Christ (God) and His written Word , because they choose to reject and ignore how to overcome sin to be clothed in the same Righteousness of Christ. These professed individuals are the weak lukewarm in Christ, that are not truly born again (born of God)!
They do not walk in Righteousness. They walk in their own justification and excuses for their sin! (Sin always has to be justified, Good does not!)
John 5:14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
John 8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
