So the definition of righteousness is :
So to stand for righteousness would mean to act in accord with divine / moral law
In my research of some of the scriptures on righteousness , government , and partnerships, my question would be “ whose righteousness “ is being followed??
Imo the two main issues with the Reawaken America and thus the “ stand for righteousness “ battle cry are as follows:
- The focus is on men and women in government and how to put them in office. Their agenda has morphed into almost an idolatry’s of sorts in a “ putting all the eggs in one basket “ ideology…
“ if we could just get enough votes to get this person or that person in office “
There is an over emphasis on certain people being the solution to America’s problems.
While it’s possible the election of some could change the trajectory of the nation, it’s only temporary.
While it’s noble to work to change our fallen government, the issue of the evil we’re seeing is due to the depravity of INDIVIDUAL SOULS.
Changing the heart of man is necessary to change evil. A perfect government does not change man’s heart , the gospel does….
This is evidenced in the Millennium when Christ will reign for the 1000 years but man will still rebel at the end when Satan is unbound.
Therefore, even a perfect government is not the answer. They can vote in whom ever they want but evil will still perform evil.
It is the pricking of individual souls with the truth that the heart is wicked and is only made righteous by placing faith in Christ who then changes the heart.
- Many in this movement of wanting to MAGA and “ fix” the immorality that is permeating every facet of society are joining in a unity that is of the ecumenical nature in which doctrine isn’t a priority as long as “we reach the desired outcome”.
This places a human desires above truth.
This is the ecumenism that will form in its entirety resulting in the One World Religion.
What is happening is that most are only seeing the veneer of what on the outside looks so Christian and moral but underneath is ultimately not of God. It is a yoking of sorts that we are forbidden to do.
Yoking in the Bible usually refers to marriage of a believer with an unbeliever. But it can also refer to joining with anyone whose agenda or who personally is not in accordance with divine or moral law.
Therefore, to truly stand for righteousness has to be line with what scripture says is righteous.
Placing political change above the change of individual souls ( the gospel) is thus not righteous.
Likewise, to place more emphasis and false hope in government officials with the objective of changing laws/ policies above hope in God is also not standing for righteousness.
Again , no one is desiring the downfall of America nor the continuing spiral into the depths of egregious immorality we’re witnessing but we know this will be the state the Lord finds the world in when he returns and the only saving it is by THE SAVIOR who is the perfect King and Ruler that can and will fix it.
We can stand for righteousness by being Christ like, sharing the gospel and exposing evil but not at the expense of doctrine but rather because of it.
Get involved to be salt and light by how you feel led to do so but remember that in the end our only hope for lasting peace is in Christ and He wants as many souls to experience HIS perfect reign of government that will last for an eternity ….and that’s a looooooong time 
There’s verses are what I’m basing my thoughts on:
