Righteousness protects our emotions, will and heart (conscious
motivations). The character or quality of being right or just:
likewiseness. It is the sum total of the religious duties of man:
almsgiving (duty to neighbor); prayer (duty to God); fasting (duty of
self-control), Matthew 6:1-18. Abraham became this by accepting God's
Word and mind and spirit, Romans 4:3. The death of Christ proves that
God is just, who passes not over sin, Romans 3:25-26.</p>
