God's Word to the Wise

Doing the right thing is to act in accordance with God’s will seeking to honor Him, rather than focusing on personal gain. The Bible emphasizes that those who pursue righteousness and justice are blessed by God, and their actions are ultimately for His glory.

He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name sake. (Psalm 23:3b)

People are to see my good works and glorify my Father who is in Heaven. (Matthew 5:16b)

Our actions should honor God rather than serve our own interests. (1 Peter 3:14) “So even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you will be blessed. Remember,

“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” (Matthew 5:10-12)
