This verse -Matthew 5-6- takes us to the real heart of who we are. It makes us look at what is our heart's desire. In this verse there is a condition and a promise. Key to understanding this is the word 'righteousness'. Do we solely confine it to solely meaning justification- Or is there more to what God is showing us- Ought we not to also include the thought of inner conformity to the character of God. In other words, it expresses a desire to live as Christ lived.--Main Headings---1- Righteousness as justification-2- Righteousness as Christ-likeness
