Portraits of Grace

John MacArthur: This is John MacArthur with more Portraits of Grace. Jesus said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness.” Is that you? Ask yourself some simple questions. Are you dissatisfied with your sin? Self-satisfaction is impossible when you know you fall short of God’s holy standard.

Do you have an appetite for God’s Word? Spiritual hunger will drive you to feed on scripture. Are you content amid difficulties, confident that every trial teaches you greater righteousness? Does God alone satisfy your deepest longings or do you look elsewhere?

Christ will satisfy the longings of your heart, yet you will always desire more of His holiness. That’s the blessed paradox of hungering and thirsting after righteousness. This is John MacArthur, praying you’re continuing to be Portraits of Grace.
