"...being fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised." This is righteousness. Being convinced, and acting on this conviction, that God is able to do what God has promised.
To be righteous means that we believe God provides for us...and we act according to this belief. Being righteous means we do not hoard; we share. Being righteous means we do not fear; we hope. Being righteous means we do not seek vengeance; we forgive. Being righteous means we do not seek to be served; we serve. Being righteous means we recognize that we are not in control, nor do we need to be, because God is in control. Being righteous means we know we cannot save ourselves nor make ourselves whole; this is God's work. Our role is to live into this righteousness.
Discipleship isn't easy, but it is the Way to wholeness, to wellness, and to shalom. Be fully convinced.
