What is True Righteousness? What The Fourth Beatitude Really Means

Written By Inés Franklin

In this episode of the Beatitudes Series, Inés Franklin teaches on what it means to hunger and thirst for righteousness — a longing that goes deeper than behavior and reaches into the desires of the heart.

We often pursue satisfaction in temporary things: success, comfort, recognition, or control. But Jesus offers a different pathway to flourishing. He invites us to cultivate a holy hunger — a deep dependence on God that reshapes our priorities and transforms our character.

Righteousness in Scripture is not about perfectionism or self-effort. It is about alignment with God’s heart, justice, and Kingdom purposes. And when we pursue that alignment, Jesus promises something remarkable: we will be filled.

With biblical insight and practical reflection, Inés guides us to examine our spiritual appetites and consider what truly satisfies.
