What is the definition of righteousness? According to the dictionary, the definition is “the quality of being morally right or justifiable.” Living a moral life is incredibly important and God has mandated humanity to live in an upright righteous manner. How do we do this? It can be hard. Here are 10 Scriptures About Righteousness:
