Theologically, righteousness is being in right standing with God. But what constitutes righteousness? In Genesis, Abram (later Abraham) put his faith in God for an heir, and God credited Abram’s faith as an act of righteousness (Genesis 15:1-6). What other acts can be credited as righteousness? Surely, among other things, it’s love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). Think about your behavior. How can you increase your acts of righteousness?
