What do we need to make out?
*1 – Righteousness* – many times we regard ourselves as faithful to the Creator (as Hezekiah – Isaiah 38.1). Nonetheless, his house was in disorder (Isaiah 38.1) and, in what he ask Jesus to live more instead of put his house in order as Isaiah enjoined, he fathered a son the was the worst king of all Israel and Judah (see 1Chronicles 33.1).
Alike, our righteousness, many times, is equal to that of someone that tries to draw a straight line without ruler: when the person is drawing, it just looks straight, but, when the person finishes, they see that the line is utterly sinuous.
*2 – Judgment* – if our sense of judgment were perfect, all our plans were to be successful. Notwithstanding, behold the reason why most of the times our ideas fail:
I know that this is grim, but the truth is that we don’t know the evil that exist inside us (Jeremiah 17.10).
*3 – Honesty* – First of all, are we honest with ourselves? If we cheat ourselves, how is it possible to be honest with someone??? Much less would we consider being honest in the least things, for example, in our dress.
*4 - Every good path* – the worst thing that can happen is someone misunderstand the path of the Creator. It is from these misconceptions that arises heresies. And the worst: it is difficult such a person convert, inasmuch as there isn’t somebody so difficult of seeing the truth than that who think to be close to Jesus (see Matthew 7.21-23; Luke 13.23-28; Matthew 25.1-12).
So, let’s realize the will of Jesus perfectly in order not to be ashamed in the day of His coming (1John 2.28).
Be blessed powerfully working out the truth of Jesus.
- “Then you shall understand righteousness and judgment and honesty, every good path.” (Proverbs 2.9).

- “There is a way which seems right to a man, but the end of it is the ways of death.” (Proverbs 14.12).
- “Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and ruin are in their paths. They did not know the way of peace, and there is no judgment in their paths. They have made crooked paths for themselves; whoever goes in them shall not know peace.” (Isaiah 59.7,8).

- “In like manner also that the women adorn themselves in an honest manner, with shyness and modesty, not with ostentatious hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing” (1Timothy 2.9).
