Righteousness for the Hungry and Thirsty

Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, Walter R. Strickland II
About this episode

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.” - Matthew 5:6. What does it mean to hunger and thirst for righteousness? Is righteousness about right relationships or justice—is it about one’s standing before God? Or does it include all three? Through this beatitude, Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Walter Strickland, and Bob Hiller dive into the various theological debates around “righteousness” in the Bible. In this episode, the hosts examine claims from N. T. Wright and the New Perspective on Paul. Together, we’ll consider why the imputation of Christ’s righteousness to sinners is an essential doctrine for the church.
