Sermon summary
This message explores how believers often view righteousness with suspicion, when Scripture presents it as a source of joy, freedom, and blessing. The speaker points to Jesus' teaching that those who hunger for righteousness will be satisfied, and to the Nehemiah revival, where God's people were told to celebrate because understanding his words led to joy. He explains that biblical holiness is winsome and open rather than shunning, that righteousness is fulfilled through agape love, and that God's commands are given for our good. The message warns against legalism, lawlessness, and confusing morality with goodness, and closes by urging listeners to fall in love with Jesus and pursue righteousness.
