Journey with Hope

Does the word “righteous” make you uncomfortable? Many people hear it and think of impossible rules and constant failure. But the Bible teaches that righteousness is not something we achieve on our own. It is something given to us through Jesus Christ. This post explores faith, grace, redemption, and why the righteousness of Christ is the only righteousness that can truly save us.

Many older believers feel they have nothing left to offer—but Psalm 92 says the opposite: “They shall still bear fruit in old age; they shall be fresh and flourishing.” Like a palm tree reaching for heaven and a cedar of Lebanon offering shade and strength, your life can keep producing beauty, wisdom, and encouragement—no matter your age. Whether it’s mentoring, praying, knitting for babies, or showing courage in hard places, God still has important work for you.

Following Jesus is not self-improvement; it is surrender. When He says “take up your cross,” He calls us to daily die to self so we can truly live in Him. Freed from sin’s slavery and empowered by the Holy Spirit, we no longer live for ourselves but for God and others.

What if the people you think are farthest from God are actually closer than you are? Jesus said tax collectors and harlots entered before the religious. Why? Because they repented. This passage exposes the danger of self-righteousness and reminds us that true righteousness comes from a changed heart, not just saying the right words.

Many people know right from wrong, but that is not the same as being convicted. The Holy Spirit does more than inform us, He confronts us with truth. Real conviction exposes our sin, removes our excuses, and leads us to Christ. This is not about feeling bad, but about being changed. Have you truly been convicted, or do you just know better?

In Romans Chapter one we see the fate of those who reject the evidence all around them of God's character. They see and know, in their heart of hearts, but reject God and His righteousness. Because they reject Him and want nothing to do with Him God removes Himself from them. When God leaves us alone we are left to our own devices. Without the prompting of the Holy Spirit they were given up to uncleanness or sinful desires (Romans 1: 24), vile passions or shameful desires
