Question

What are the 5 features of rightiness​

Answer 1

Answer:

The five traits of righteousness that must characterize a nation’s leaders are the same qualities in fact, that serve to exalt a nation. The Greek word for Righteous­ness (dikaiosune) is used 86 times in the NT. The most simple and easy way to remember the definition of this word is “right-way-ness.” Careful observation of Proverbs 14:34 (quoted in the pre­amble) reveals a nationalistic summa­tion of the cause and effect relationship between righteousness and exaltation. Great nations, great leaders, great em­ployees, great family members are always characterized by the following definitive biblical characteristics of righteousness – that’s what makes them great! It should be noted at the outset that there are many who practice the following five characteristics of biblical righteousness, borrowing from the heavenly Author of such, but yet give no attribution to their source.

In an individual sense, when a lead­er lives with God’s character, he places himself in a position to be blessed by God, whereas unrighteous leaders are never in a place or position wherein God can extend them His divine favor in as gracious a proportion.

Per Proverbs 14:34, it follows that a na­tion’s proportion of blessing is directly related to, and tantamount to the sum total of the righteousness quotient of its individual leaders. It is only when a na­tion is blessed with high-principled in­dividuals that it places itself in a position to gain God’s bestowal of blessing and favor, of overall well-being.
