The Nature of True Righteousness
Matthew 25:46
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.


The following four particulars are necessary to entitle us to the denomination and character of righteous men.

I. The establishment within us of good principles, and acting from them.

II. The superior efficacy of such principles within us to the efficacy of all other principles.

III. The manifestation of their superiority by avoiding all habitual guilt, and practicing all known duties; and

IV. A constant endeavour to grow better.

(Richard Price.)
