Many today want the fruits of the Kingdom without submitting to the rule of the King. Another way to say this is that we often want justice around us without needing to pursue righteousness. However, righteousness and justice are concepts that are inseparably linked together in the OT. God, who sits on a throne whose foundation is righteousness and justice (Psalm 89:14), executes righteousness and justice in the world AND calls his people to lives marked by righteousness and justice.
