{ "item_title" : "The Righteousness of God", "item_author" : [" David Miller "], "item_description" : "Man declares himself righteous through his state, God declares man righteous through his deeds, actions, heart, motives, and intentions. God desires man to reign with him as it was at the beginning which was lost through his disobedience and was chased from his presence. The world is full of sinful desires, and pleasures that do not glorify God or make him happy, the nature of man (the fleshy nature) prevents him from living for him (God) because he is already accustomed to sin. Man desires to keep a righteous state of living but cannot on his own, the more he tries the more he sees himself falling but God. God can make anyone righteous in his sight, he has made it possible through his son whom he sent on earth to die for us, to redeem mankind from their sinful state, and as many that accept him (God's son) they live the righteousness of God, not their righteousness or the righteousness of the world; God sees them as righteous and would love to identify with them, would love to reveal himself to them, his grace is there to help one from continuing in sin and living a life that would bring glory to his name. In this perverse generation it takes the grace of God for one to live a holy life, it takes the standard of God for one to be declared righteous, everyone wants to feel they are right, norms, practices, laws, systems they have seen and followed from past convinces them that sometimes they are right, but God is the greatest judge and only him can decide and declare a man righteous, only him has the basis on which to declare a man righteous. The righteousness of God helps one to reign with God forever because he remains in a right state with God. God can help one from falling but he has to be acknowledged in one's life and one must be able to submit to him, allowing his own will to align with God's will and making sure one does not desire the things of the flesh because it draws one far from God and does not produce the righteousness God desires. Sin is a great factor that prevents one to live for God and anyone that does not desire to grow into maturity will be tossed up and down by the devil because he is not happy that man lives God's righteousness, he wants man to be lost in his way and to feel his actions are right. God has destined that we reign with him forever but one's desire to live the life of the flesh and follow the pattern of the world will terminate that destiny. It lies in our hands to make that decision and God can help us because by our strength we can't live the righteousness of God but he helps us as we carry him along in all our activities and make him sovereign in our life.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/886/547/9798865474418_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "100.00", "online_price" : "100.00", "our_price" : "100.00", "club_price" : "100.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
