1 John 2:29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
Finally we see in this last verse we can know God even better if we remain in righteous with Him. Because we should know that God is righteousness, then if we are in righteousness with him, we are righteous . In another scripture we read that if we seek the kingdom of God first and His righteousness all things will be added unto us. We need the righteousness of God each and every day to accomplish His will in our life each day.
