Righteousness plays a significant role in spiritual formation across various religious and philosophical traditions.
“In Christianity, righteousness refers to the state of being in right standing with God, achieved through faith in Jesus Christ” (Phillips, 2023).
It often involves aligning one’s actions, beliefs, and attitudes with moral and ethical principles, fostering a sense of integrity, virtue, and goodness. In spiritual formation, the pursuit of righteousness can serve as
a guide for personal growth, ethical conduct, and a deeper connection to one’s spiritual path or understanding of the divine.
In 2 Corinthians 3:18 the Apostle Paul wrote, “And we all, who with unveiled faces reflect the Lord’s glory,
are being transformed into his image with ever-
increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit
”
(Scofield, 1995). All in all, spiritual formation helps individuals develop a moral compass and contributes to their inner transformation and spiritual development. Within the models of spiritual formation one could read about the devotional model, within this model you will find that there are 5 concepts, steps, experiences, habits, or disciplines that one would practice in order to grow spiritually. These 5 habits are 1) Practicing the presence of God through prayer, 2) Growing in the Word through Bible study, 3) Sharing your testimony by telling your story, 4) Building community through Church participation, and 5) Submitting your life to God’s rule through Christian Stewardship (Ragsdell, 2021). When studying these 5 disciplines an individual can begin to create pathways to their presence of God which in turn produces a relationship which continues to bear spiritual fruit (Ragsdell, 2021).
