WHO IS A RIGHTEOUS PERSON?
EZEKIEL 18 VS 5 TO 9.
In the above scripture GOD ALMIGHTY HIMSELF told us the person He knows as a righteous person.
The people He declared righteous are not those who goes to church, singing and dancing, preaching the gospel, church workers or pastors and prophets.
PLEASE READ BELOW AND OBSERVE CAREFULLY :
EZEKIEL 18 VS 5 TO 9.
VS 5, Surpose there is a righteous man who does what is just and right.
VS 6, He does not eat at mountain shrines (EATING IDOL FOOD) or look to the idol of Israel ( WORSHIPPING IDOL) He doesn't commit murder.
Who does not defile his neighbour's wife
( COMMITTING ADULTERY) or have sexual relation with a woman during her period ( MENSTRATION PERIOD)
VS 7, He does not oppress anyone, but return what he took in pledge for a loan
( ANYTHING YOU BORROWED RETURN IT BACK TO THE OWNER)
He does not commit robbery (STEALING AND FRAUDULENT BUSINESS) But gives food to the hungry and provides clothing for the naked. ( HELPING THOSE IN NEEDS AND FEED THE HUNGER)
VS 8, He does not lend to people at interest or take profit from them. He withholds his hands from doing wrong and judges fairly between two parties.
VS 9, He follows my decrees and faithfully keeps my commandments : THAT MAN IS A RIGHTEOUS PERSON, he will surely live, declares the sovereign Lord.
NOTE: There are some manner and lifestyle we don't regards them as a sin and hindrance to our eternal life.
In that verse 6, God Almighty warned us we should not have sexual relationship during woman menstrual period, it is a sin against GOD ALMIGHTY. If you have be doing it stop, tell God to forgive you, either you are a man or woman.
In that verse 8, God Almighty also warned us, when we lend money to our neighbours or brethern we should not add intetest, but only collect the same amount we borrowed them.
But if you are into financial institutions - mortgage investment as your business, lending money to customers with interest is not a sin because that is the source of your investment. But add only little interest.
It is only if you are a worker or you have your personal business not relating to financial mortgage business, if you lend money to your brethern or neighbours with interest is a sin and the reward is hell fire even though you are not committing other sin.
God Almighty also warned us in verse 7, anything we borrowed from someone, we must return it to the owner, except the owner may tell you not to return it, he give you free. If you do not return it is a sin against GOD ALMIGHTY.
God also told us we must feed the hunger and cloth the naked. If we don't care for those in needs is also a sin, except you don't have, you are also in difficulties at that period.
ADVISE : The kingdom of God is near, repent from sin and evil, because no one knows the particular day of judgment or the last day of his last time, the type of life you lived determine the kingdom you will enter either heaven or hell fire.
SIN IS PERSONAL DESTRUCTION.
RIGHTEOUSNESS IS YOUR PERSONAL BENEFITS.
Live righteous life and refrain from doing evil to your neighbours. The evil you are doing to your neighbours, they may not know you are the one afflicting them , but the angels of God are watching you. Every sin is attached with punishment.
The punishment may not be immediate and the second punishment is hell fire if not repented.
Confess all your sin to God and repent to avoid the punishment waiting for you because of your past and present sins.
JESUS CHRIST IS LORD.
