Hebrews 1:9
Hebrews 1:9
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
This verse indicates to us that Jesus, the Son of God, has been crowned with glory and honor, becoming much better than the angels. He became man to die for our sins and is now seated at the right hand of the Father, where He continually intercedes for us. By His death and resurrection, He has overcome sin and death and has become the source of our salvation and eternal hope. Jesus, the Son of God, was chosen by God for His goodness and grace. He delighted in righteousness and rejected evil, leading to His anointment with the oil of gladness above all others. As part of His Body, we are forever united with Him and will one day fully enter into His joy when we see Him face to face. In order to fulfill the joy set before Him, our Saviour endured the Cross and despised its shame. As of today, He sits at the right hand of the throne of God in heavenly places. In Him God is well pleased, for He loves righteousness and hates wickedness, and is anointed with the oil of gladness as the heir to all things.
Matthew 5:6
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Psalms 37:3
Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
Matthew 3:15
And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
Micah 6:8
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
