Christ calls us to a radical righteousness. However, we must take heed that we are not practicing our righteousness for the sole reason of being seen by man. We should walk in humility and practice righteousness for the love and glory of God, not for selfish gain. When looking at these three ways below that Jesus calls us to walk in righteousness, examine your driving motives behind them. Ask the Lord to help you to want to do these things for His glory and not your own.
