Valuable Mirror of Truth #24: “The Kingdom of God, His Righteousness, and YOU.” Part 3

Read: Isaiah 32:17, Matthew 6:33, Romans 14:17

In May, BTS Ministries asked whether understanding God’s righteousness could lead us to discovering our true value. Then in June, we explored how seeking the Kingdom of God is an essential part of that discovery, as Jesus taught in Matthew 6:33. So this month, we bring these truths together to see how God’s Kingdom, His righteousness, and our identity are beautifully connected.

Romans 14:17 says, “For the kingdom of God is …righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.”

God wants us to become more like Him, reflecting His love and righteousness in the way we live. When we start embracing this life-changing concept of seeking God’s righteousness daily, the world’s negative opinions about our worth, will begin to fade away. 

Before you were even conceived, God knew every strength and every weakness you would have, every success and every failure, and yet He still chose to create you, because He wanted you here. So, the more we obey God’s Word to seek His kingdom & His righteousness, we will gradually learn to think, speak, live, and love more like Him. So, I encourage everyone to continue meditating on these truths until they take deep root in your heart and begin to bear fruit. As you continue to live and grow closer to God, you will begin to realize your true identity—which is what makes you truly Valuable: you are loved by God, created in His image, and called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28) 

In conclusion: The answer to the question we asked in May is yes: as we seek God’s Kingdom & His righteousness, we will discover our true value because our identity is found in the One who created us. By seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness, we will also begin to recognize what Isaiah observed, from the very beginning of this series: “The fruit of righteousness will be peace; its effect will be quietness and confidence forever.” (Isaiah 32:17 NIV)

As we grow in Him, we discover not only who God is—but who we are in Him.
