| What are the fruits of righteousness |
|
| |
As mentioned in 9:10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for [your] food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;) and in" 1:11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. I am unable to find any other Biblical references to the fruits of righteousness. |

| In Greek, it says: justification. If so, then what would the fruits of justification be? |

Thanks a lot ihsallthetime, you may have meant fruit of the spirit on your
post, why do women go to church more than men, but you said fruit of righteousness. |

ok, if righteousness is justification, then justification is dikaioō, to render (that is, show or regard as) just or innocent: - free, justify (-ier), be righteous.
... which comes from dikaios: equitable (in character or act); by implication innocent, holy (absolutely or relatively): - just, meet, right (-eous).
....which comes from dikē: right (as self evident), that is, justice (the principle, a decision, or its execution): - judgment, punish, vengeance.
...which comes from deiknuō: A prolonged form of an obsolete primary of the same meaning; to show (literally or figuratively): - shew.
which is the prime word.... now WHAT??!

Ok, if Abraham was not justified by works, but by faith..... Rom 4:1-3 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. |

hmmm... in the God's Word version it says.... Rom 4:2-3 If Abraham had God's approval because of something he did, he would have had a reason to brag. But he could not brag to God about it. What does Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and that faith was regarded by God to be his approval of Abraham."
So because Abraham offered Issac as a sacrifice, (something he did), he could brag, but not to God. But instead, his righteousness was because of his faith..... hmmmm |

OK, if that is the case, then the oppisite should be..... If I rely on my works, what I do, I can brag about it, but not to God. So works, God does not want to hear about! hmmmmmm So, my righteousness comes from faith......... because God does not want to hear about my works. |
