What is righteousness?


Far from being a cold rectitude preoccupied with keeping its hands clean, true righteousness is active and generous, whether it is seen in God or man…God’s righteousness is creative, stepping in to put the very worst  things right.’ (Derek Kidner, writing about God’s five ‘betrothal gifts’ of righteousness, justice, lovingkindness, compassion and faithfulness in Hosea 2:19,20)
