It seems no one will touch the “Doctrine of Righteousness” anymore, since our diplomacy must be correct. Some say, “the killing of our soul for diplomacy.” You tell a lady on FB they are beautiful on a picture, well, yea! However, tell her the picture is not that beautiful? After all, you are no Beyonce, Halle or Angela Bassett, or Julia Roberts. Better than that, you are no legendary beauty like Miss Lena Horne, or Miss Dorothy Dandridge. Surely, we have lost a friend, that quickly, a friend. Or was it a chance associate?
“Mimicry,” This seems to be a popular form these days of one to act like Christians to ease in on what we could not otherwise get by acting like satan. Some of the entertainers do it these days. An example, people still imitate Elvis, the King…smile… That is “Mimicry.”
So it is with evilness when we want to get something better than satan can offer. (Surely satan has no beautifuls. That is why he moves to and fro in heaven.) It is time to put on their Christ garb or their Godly wording. Satan surely knows the word of God and what to say, and how to say it, right. So “Mimicry” is the word. Many of us act like Christians, but far from it. Consider, why would satan want himself. Godly things are good. Mimicry plays with the human mind. You ever met someone when all of a sudden, you think alike…Then you find you did not know each other at all. Mimicry in the Church. Now I wander who the Bible is for? US!
Righteousness, The Bible divine and human it is, in its forms and even woof of the Scriptures. Doctrinal and practical righteousness meet us on all levels of age, beauty, and ugly. Such an important truth has been treated as if it is most difficult. Theologians may have made it so, but the word of God is simple and clear in its teaching on the doctrine of grace. There is no gray area with God, either it is or not. Only man has a gray area. That color gray shows how dead we have become. It is not tragic that a theme so beautifully and blessedly simple has been muddled, confused, tortured, twisted and disputed over through centuries of wrangled strife.
Some of us know, the imperative need of our day is a right understanding of righteousness because its association with the soul’s relation to God, and also responsibilities to others.
Righteousness is the necessary basis of God’s dealing with saint and sinner; the ground too, on which grace gloriously sways its sceptre (Romans 5:21), and the super-structure on which all Christians life, progress and service repose. It underlies every position and relation of life. Righteousness is the keystone of the arch of divine revelation. It may even help some of us to note the term righteousness closely; it is a relative term dealing with the relationship of others. The resident that lives in righteousness is, “Doing what is right.”
