A Righteous Nation

Many people quote this verse from the Bible and it is so very true. However they do not truly
understand its meaning, it just sounds nice to them. So lets take a moment to see the intricate
details of what this means.

"Pro_14:34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. "

*So do we understand what "Righteousness" is? The Bible tells us, as well it is easily seen it is
the "opposite" of Sin. Sin reproaches and curses and degrades, while Righteousness exalts,
builds up, and blesses!

We know according to the Bible Sin is but one thing and that is "Unbelief" now Unbelief just
does not mean not believing, it can also mean "believing" in the "wrong" thing, or misplaced
faith.

"Rom_11:32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all."
"Rom_3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; "

Thus Sin is unbelief, if it is belief in something that is not truth. Faith only works when it is
plugged into Truth, if not, and it is plugged into anything else, it is the same as unbelief in
general, so we must seek and love truth above our own desires or else we can be lead astray and
still "believe a lie" and be damned.

Sin being unbelief, then we can easily begin to see what "Righteousness" is!
Righteousness is your Faith! Righteousness is believing in the right thing, and by that I mean
Truth! Truth is The Word of God, not mans carnal interpretation of that Word.
The Word of God interprets itself, It has never needed mans interpretation! if you want to truly
understand the Word of God then take it for exactly what it says and it lines up perfect, every
jot and tittle from beginning to end!

*Rom_1:17 For therein is the Righteousness of God revealed from Faith to Faith: as it is
written, The just shall live by Faith.
Rom_3:22 Even the Righteousness of God which is by FAITH of Jesus Christ unto all and
upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
Rom_4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his
FAITH is counted for RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Rom_4:13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to
his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
Rom_9:30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness,
have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
Rom_10:6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine
heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)

So what is it that exalts a people and a nation? Faith...Faith in God, or faith in the true Word of
God! We must have our faith in the Truth! We have 33,000 Christian denominations and now
we have Muslims and Atheist, and Satan worshippers, and Witchcraft, and so many other
religions in America. Not only this, but those who claim to believe in God, yet their daily
actions show a very different story. If we truly had faith in the true word of God we would not
act and live and do all the things of the world. we would be a separate and holy people! we can
blame the liberals and Obama and the Gays etc but the secret to this nation coming back to God
lays inside the heart of each one of us as an individual! where is your faith today? What do you
truly from the core of your heart, believe in! You can tell by looking around your own life,
those you associate with, what is in your home, your car, your body. How do you dress, for
decency and godliness, or lust and attraction? Do you fill your body with cigarette smoke or
drugs? Do you claim to be a Christian, yet you go to the bars and clubs and do little dirty things
on the side? Are you watching non virtuous unholy ungodly filthy perverted tv shows? Is your
mouth filthy with cuss words and temper tantrums? How often do you truly sit down to read the
Word of God and pray and talk to Him? See we could go on and on, as we see, WE are the
reason Sin is reproached God for WE the people have left off with God and His Word and His
Life and now our Nation is forsaken? Can God bless us when we put our kids in institutions that
have kicked him out? when we let our kids join the teams sports to be one of the worldly
products that the Public Schools produce? Can we be true Christians when we take a PART of
the Word of God and form a entire denomination with it and say this is the Truth when it clearly
is not? The Churches are also responsible for not having a backbone, for compromising, for
watered down godless sermons more filled with stories and philosophy that the anointed
inspired Word of God. Churches condoning and practicing unholy sodomite unions and
lifestyles!

This could go on and on, but can we see WE need to REPENT! WE NEED TO CHANGE OUR
HEARTS AND THEN OUR LIVES!!! Faith will not live in an unclean and filthy heart! An
unclean and filthy heart is the one that has the Love of the World in it, which loves worldly
fashions and worldly frolics and monetary gain and popularity! it is a heart that reads every
book but the Bible! You take time for everything but God and His Word! We wonder why we
have such a wicked filthy immoral godless leader who is leading this nation to fall and falling it
is, fast, and swiftly! This can only mean more judgment and more wrath from God, our enemies
will rise up against us and their armies will march on this once great land! You can change it,
by changing yourself! Be Born Again! Go to the woods get on your knees; do not get up from
there till you are endued with power from On High! From there go forth and change others and
then they will change others and then our Nation will begin to Shine with Faith and be clothed
once again in Righteousness! Amen!
