The Righteousness of God

     The great prophet, Isaiah, declared: “We are all as an unclean thing, and all our 
righteousnesses are as filthy rags.” And Daniel prayed: “We do not present our 
supplications before thee for our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies.” In 
recognition of these basic deficiencies and distortions in human life in the earth’s fallen 
mortal state, Jesus admonished his disciples in Palestine and on the Western 
hemisphere: “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness.” And in his 
ministry to the Nephites, Christ quoted Isaiah’s statement of faithful saints in the latter-
day Zion: “Their righteousness is of me.” One charge the Lord made against many 
modern Christians is that “they seek not the Lord to establish his righteousness, but every 
man walketh in his own way, after the image of his own God, whose image is in the 
likeness of the world.”
