Righteousness


Mathew 5:6
           "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled
 
           Righteousness is what we call "holiness" today
           Drinking and eating are the two fundamental needs of the body, without which we soon die.  So bodily hunger and       thirst are the triggers which keep our bodies alive.  Hungering and thirsting for holiness keep the soul alive.  It is in the nature of man's spirit to yearn for something.  If we do not yearn for holiness we yearn for the world and worldly yearning cannot coexist with yearning for holiness.
