Psalm 23 (NKJV)
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. ² He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. ³ He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. ⁴ Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. ⁵ You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. ⁶ Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.

You are my Righteousness.

Jeremiah 23:6 (CSB) In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely. This is the name he will be called: The Lord Is Our Righteousness.

You don’t have to your righteousness anymore, because righteousness for you!

2 Corinthians 5:21 (CSB) He made the one who did not know sin to be sin^[a] for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

You get to be , pure, and because of what did.

God you something that you and I could get on our own.

God (Jehovah-Tsidkenu) cleaned us up so we can His throne with , grace, and .

Righteousness has a .

Proverbs 3:6 (CSB) in all your ways know him, and he will make your paths straight.

You have to your righteousness.

Psalm 25:4-5 (CSB) Make your ways known to me, Lord; teach me your paths. ⁵ Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; I wait for you all day long.

Just like Diversity Church… There are many , but only .

John 14:6 (CSB) Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

It’s not the idea of “ is my righteousness, so I can do I want…”

1 Peter 1:14-15 (CSB) As obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires of your former ignorance. ¹⁵ But as the one who called you is holy, you also are to be holy in all your conduct;

What does righteousness ?

Ephesians 4:17-32 (CSB) Therefore, I say this and testify in the Lord: You should no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thoughts. ¹⁸ They are darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them and because of the hardness of their hearts. ¹⁹ They became callous and gave themselves over to promiscuity for the practice of every kind of impurity with a desire for more and more. ²⁰ But that is not how you came to know Christ, ²¹ assuming you heard about him and were taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus, ²² to take off your former way of life, the old self that is corrupted by deceitful desires, ²³ to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, ²⁴ and to put on the new self, the one created according to God’s likeness in righteousness and purity of the truth. ²⁵ Therefore, putting away lying, speak the truth, each one to his neighbor, because we are members of one another. ²⁶ Be angry and do not sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your anger, ²⁷ and don’t give the devil an opportunity. ²⁸ Let the thief no longer steal. Instead, he is to do honest work with his own hands, so that he has something to share with anyone in need. ²⁹ No foul language should come from your mouth, but only what is good for building up someone in need, so that it gives grace to those who hear. ³⁰ And don’t grieve God’s Holy Spirit. You were sealed by him for the day of redemption. ³¹ Let all bitterness, anger and wrath, shouting and slander be removed from you, along with all malice. ³² And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.
