The Power of Hunger
μακάριοι makárioi “Blessed” deeply happy, spiritually flourishing under God’s favor
I. Hunger in the Bible
“Those who hunger and thirst for righteousness are blessed because they are dissatisfied with what they are. They recognize their need for God’s righteousness, not their own; and their longing is a mark of grace that will be satisfied both now and in the consummation of the kingdom.”
— D.A. Carson

II. Three Dimensions of Righteousness

2. Sanctification – Living Right through the Holy Spirit
3. Justice – Doing Right in the World
III. Cultivating the Hunger for Righteousness
a. Feed on the Word of God
b. Spend Time in Prayer and Worship
c. Ask for a Fresh Filling of the Holy Spirit
d. Repentance and Obedience
e. Pursue God’s Plan
f. Surround yourself with Spiritually Hungry people
“The Christian’s hunger is not for happiness but for holiness. Blessed are those who are not satisfied until they are like Christ in heart, mind, and behavior. That hunger is itself a blessing, and its satisfaction is both a present experience and a future hope.”
