Righteousness
Righteousness means always doing what is
morally right, just, ethical, honorable and
virtuous.

 In every decision that he makes or what ever he
does he will first ask himself, “What will Jesus
do?”

Meaning
In the 4th beatitude, Jesus is teaching us to develop
an attitude which is giving God and human beings
what is due to them.
 He wants them to strive for what is good, what is
true, what is right and what is just so that they will
be ultimately be satisfied.
 Those who strive to do what is only good for their
selfish interests will finally end up empty.
