Simple Truth: The righteous never feel full

Jesus stated in the Beatitudes: Matthew 5:6, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” Jesus was saying that ‘the righteousness’ are hungry and thirsty all the time. They always want more of God and even when God gives them more, they still do not feel full but there is a constant and everlasting desire to want more and more—this is righteousness in action!

When a Christian no longer has that desire to want more and more, he/she is not considered by God to be righteous. This truth applies to each of the Beatitudes. We are always poor, mournful, meek, merciful, pure in heart, a peacemaker, and persecuted. These qualities are always in a Christian who believes in Christ and does His will. We never find complete attainment but are always on the journey to be more like Christ—always a humble servant of faith. As Jesus stated about having faith in Luke 17: 5-10: “So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, ‘We are unworthy servants;[c] we have only done what was our duty.’”
