"The righteous ones" means "those who are invited to worship.

What does "the righteous" mean? 🤔
...It means "those who are invited to worship."
..."Those with upright hearts" also means the same thing.

There is a reason why we praise God.

It is because we are grateful that Jesus forgives sinners like us and invites us to worship.

But that is not all.
When God created this earth and we saw the abundant nature, we praised its greatness.
...We are grateful that such a great being allows us, who are so insignificant, to become close to such a great being.

What is your reason for praising the Lord?
What is your reason for worshiping the Lord?
...The Lord Jesus Christ, who entered the mire of sin and lifted us up when we were submerged in it!

…If I had stayed in that quagmire of sin,
I would have 100% died…😨
…Those who cannot live without ignoring or thanking the one who saved their life gather and worship the Lord.
…Those are the "righteous ones."
…Let us rejoice in that this morning and give thanks to the Lord❗️

Shalom😃
