What is this Righteousness God Requires? “Joshua told the people, ‘Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you.’” (Joshua 3:5) Consecration: the setting apart of something to be made holy

What is this Righteousness God Requires? “Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” (Exodus 3:5) “The commander of the LORD’s army replied, ‘Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy.’ And Joshua did so.” (Joshua 5:15) “But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: ‘Be holy, because I am holy.’” (1 Peter 1:15,16)

What is this Righteousness God Requires? God calls us to revere Him as a holy God and to consecrate ourselves to reflect His righteousness, holiness and justice

What is this Righteousness God Requires? God requires … I.

Fact is, God’s holiness demanded that sin be paid for, and then His love compelled Him to pay the price Himself.” (James MacDonald)

What is this Righteousness God Requires? God requires … II. A Spirit of Brokenness: Approaching God as we are Brokenness: the state of being fractured, incomplete, and humbled “The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. Psalm 51:17

What is this Righteousness God Requires? God requires … III. A Spirit of Accountability: Confessing to others as we are Accountability: being answerable to an assigned responsibility “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” 1 Peter 2:9
