The Righteousness of God’s Name. A Name Like no Other. Jeremiah 23:5-6;Rom. 3:10-26We can know righteousness when we know and walk with Jesus.Have you ever wondered how music groups get their names? Some are strange, like the Strawberry Alarm Clock that was popular years ago. A few groups picked up their names accidentally. According to several sources, Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley were singing when someone in the audience shouted, “That’s righteous, brother.” From then on, they became known as “The Righteous Brothers”—an interesting name
for guys who primarily sang popular, not religious, music.The term righteous has been used as slang for “very good,” “moving,” “awesome,” “cool,” and other meanings. Unfortunately, like other biblical words, righteous has come to represent many things that are far from godly. On a basic level, it represents what is just and right.Use the beginning of each day to commit to living out God’s righteousness by walking with Jesus.
