1John 4:7 says if you love, you are born of the Creator and know Him, like, you were born of your parents and know that you are of them. Is there someone or others that you love? Well, you know Creator; you may not know all about Him, but you don't even know all about those whom you care for and you still love them.

Everyone is always changing as life goes along. Changes to the status quo occur constantly, especially so as circumstances hit us, making us do some deep thinking. If only we used wisdom beforehand to have altered our life's path. But, some of us are not discontented enough with the present to put forth solid effort in new directions. We wait for life to happen, not realizing that life is happening to us all the time. It's better to be part of what's making life happen, than simply reacting to what is happening.

Just when man thinks he's got it down pat, watch out. Look at thalidomide, fluoride, vioxx, vaccinations and many things proclaimed safe; the 'unsinkable' ship Titanic.(and how a novel provided a warning over a decade earlier), the 'unburnable' arena in Chicago, McCormick Place, that burnt to the ground, the unsinkable Ocean Ranger oil extraction platform, the invincible Spanish Armada out to attack England, people that proclaim themselves the greatest.(Mussolini, etc.):.Psalms 118:8; 146:3; Proverbs 29:25; 1Corinthians 3:19 "For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written.(from Job 5:12-14; Jeremiah 8:9), He takes the wise in their own craftiness." 1Corinthians 1:19 "For it is written.(Job 5:13), I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent."

Man tends to trust in the things of his strength and not so much in the all powerful God. God sometimes has to awaken man to the power of God, as God did in the life of ancient Gideon and there are many other examples as well.

But you know the most important part:.1John 4:8. Bet you didn't know that you're closer to the Creator than you thought you were? Bet you didn't know either that you're now incorruptible, that is, if you have accepted Christ into your experience, your heart?

1Peter 1:22,23 "Seeing you have purified your souls in obeying the truth.(what truth?.1John 5:1 and 1John 2:29, just below).through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, so see that you love one another with a pure heart fervently.(be hot!). Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which lives and abides for ever.".Yep! You are now squeaky clean in the Creator's eyes and will forever be that way. As long as He's there, you are incorruptible:.1Peter 1:23 "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which lives and abides for ever." And He'll always be there, forever. And you too!

1John 2:29 "If you know.(it's something you know, something that you are sure of).that he is righteous, you know that every one that does righteousness is born of him."

A better translation would be:.'If you know.(are sure).that His righteousness be in you, you also know that every person that acquires righteousness.(the gift of it:.Romans 5:17).is born of Him'.(and therefore are your brothers and sisters)..John 13:15 "For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.".(Christ lived an example of love)

And how do you do or acquire the gift of righteousness John, in his epistles.(letters).is describing here?.1John 3:7,10

Righteousness is a gift from the Great Infinite One to us. This gift enables us to have a relationship with this Great God, because the Creator only deals with equals and He has made us equal in nature with Him. So, abide in the light of being free from all that previously held you in bondage.

The Infinite One is brilliantly pure, holy, righteous and extremely powerful:.Acts 1:8 "But you shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you..." Anything not as pure, holy and as righteous as He is, dies in His presence.

So, by making us an equal member of the Creator's family, His impeccable.nature can dwell in 'imperfect' us?

When you do righteousness, once you decide to express the new righteous nature you now have, you have then decided to be in daily living what would not be of this nature; like cheating, lying.(lying, as understood by the scriptures), being an angry, obnoxious and resentfully hateful type of person, being selfishly concerned, like - 'me first, screw you' type of person, not seeking to have.unfair.advantage.(to another's detriment).over another.

It is the righteousness of belief. See the following and note especially the 'belief' words as they come along:.1John 3:11,14,16-19,23; 4:12,16,20,21; Romans 1:16,17; 3:22; 4:6; 10:6-15

Christ.(what does 'Christ' mean?).is your righteousness if you do believe that His nature is indeed in you:.1Corinthians 1:30.(note the words "made unto us").

Paul is telling us to awake to righteousness.(a new day, a new life for you – awake by thinking about these things daily until you really get it).and sin not.(sin in the original Greek is 'to miss the mark'). Do not allow your mind to cause you to miss the mark of your righteousness by not taking time in your life to think over scriptures about the subject of righteousness. Turn off the #$*? TV! And stop wasting the time of your life talking about nothing in particular with others. Make your time count. Awake to the future. Get a great reward

More about righteousness under 'Righteousness'. 

But just to cap it all off here:.Philippians 3:9 and 2Corinthians 5:21

If you believe 1John 5:1 and the other scriptures here, you have got the righteousness of the Creator by faith. Welcome to the family! Let's go!.
