righteous and judgement?

Scripture; 1 John 3:7

Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.  KJV...
 

Dear children, don’t let anyone deceive you about this: When people do what is right,
it shows that they are righteous, even as Christ is righteous.  NLT..

“God is Light and in Him is no darkness at all”      (He does not, cannot, lie)

Do what is right...in Christ.

Jesus took our judgements of missing God's standard, sin,
upon Himself by His perfect righteousness to be the perfect sacrifice, then His crucifixion and death on the cross.

It is finished.

 

Jesus fulfilled in the Son of man what no man could do so that the faithful will be seen righteous in the Life Jesus gave; therefore, justified in the Father’s sight. What was finished was that the covenants were met in the Son of man. I contract you to build a house, its finished when I am satisfied it is according to the contract. Then there is no more building activity involved, it is finished. Also FYI the word “perfect” in old KJV English means complete, fulfilled.

Also, God’s Judgement is Life, and man’s judgments are not.

Not to bring up a separate subject but, disorder is relative, what is order to one can be disorder to another, and visa-versa. Righteousness isn’t really about order its about meeting the criteria of the agreement to the other party’s satisfaction which makes the first righteous in the eyes of the other. Even though the agreement is relative to the agreed, he who is up-right in meeting the agreement is righteous in anyone’s eyes, whether they be a part of the agreement or not.

Jesus fulfilled in the Son of man what no man could do, so that the faithful will be seen righteous in the Life Jesus gave; therefore, justified in the Father’s sight. I mean what is considered a moral person, which is one who meets the agreed set of rules which would make the same righteous, or even the acts thereof righteous. Such as what a cop shooting, can be found a righteous shooting under the law.

As your understanding of righteousness is, may you be blessed…

In the Beloved, Not me

Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law is the truth. Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: yet thy commandments are my Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

- Isaiah 40:28-31 (KJV)

Yes, the ones who wait on the LORD will renew their strength.

And God is without failure or fainting; and He is able to share with us how He is strong and unfailing.

And His love can not run out; but this is our example required of us, that we do not run out of love! But God in us is able to mature us in His love unconditional and untiring 

And we need to have the right kind of strength. Only God can give us strength which is righteous, and strength guided by good judgment.

This is in His love.

"There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment." (in 1 John 4:18)

So, God's love has strength almighty to cast out fear and worry and their torment. And in this love we have "knowledge and all discernment" (in Philippians 1:9) so our judgment is right and we are not fooled by the cruel lies of worry.

So, righteousness has to do with how God's love is right and the light of His love gives us judgment and perspective which are right, and come only through Jesus.

I am curious, why did you mention “unconditional”?
