Riches in Righteousness

Read:  Psalm 65 / Proverbs 10 / Jeremiah 9 /Romans 15

 

Psalm 65:3,4 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away. Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee.

Proverbs 10:2 Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.

Jeremiah 9:23,24 Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me.

Romans 15:29 I am sure that, when I come unto you, I shall come in the fulness of the blessing of the gospel of Christ.

 

The greatest riches in the earth

Are in salvation’s righteousness. 

No earthly treasure has such worth

Or such ability to bless! 

 

The wisdom, might, and wealth men gain

Can never save a single soul, 

For these are gathered all in vain

Without redemption paid in full.
