What does it mean to live a righteous life?
It’s not complicated. You have to do the following: 1. Resist evil. This means that whenever you have an opportunity to sin, you say no. This could be a temptation from someone else (“Let’s go out and get drunk.”) or from within your mind (“That guy just cut me off in traffic. Let me think how I can get even with him.”) When you do commit a sin, you confess your sin to God and ask for His forgiveness. 2. Accomplishing a walk with God. You pray and read the Bible and praise God for His presence in your life. 3. Do righteous works. This means that you will roll up your sleeves and do the work that God gives you to do. You can contribute time or money to someone’s needs. You could be the joy in someone’s life. Just be loving and friendly. It could even mean that you accept a job in your church as a teacher, a deacon, work in the kitchen or nursery, etc. 4. Live the Christian Life. You will show Christian love in your home and neighborhood and at your place of employment. 5. Rely on God. R
