1 Corinthians 3:3 (NKJV)
for you are still carnal. For where [there are] envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like [mere] men?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Scripture puts forth a description of one still controlled by own will, for own will is that that causes divisions, envy, strife, etc… For own will is incapable of understanding righteousness for it has the understanding of a man, so therefore does it put forth its will as righteousness not submitting to the righteousness of God which comes by faith alone…
For the pursuing of righteousness which comes through faith is the peacemaker between believers for this is where the unity of the faith is found… Where believer’s become all of the same mind, when and where each and every believer asks God what is righteousness, what is love, what is being a peacemaker in the situation….For unifying around the righteousness that comes through faith alone is letting God be the decider, letting God be the bringer forth-er of the fruit of the choices made…. For as His people He makes righteousness known speedily to those that are open and humble before Him, those that aren’t looking to be right, but just wanting to know His will and then walk in it…
Which will is righteousness in and towards all regardless of how one is treated or responded to, this is that expression of righteousness that all can unify around, for no one is better or above another, but love, righteousness, and being a peacemaker, letting God bring forth the fruit of the Spirit as proof of His life in one…
For righteousness being expressed is God’s will being expressed and done in those that would be called by His name…
Be blessed in being an expression of His righteousness….
