“Surely the righteous shall give thanks to Your name;
The upright shall dwell in Your presence.”  Psalm 140:13

This is a psalm of David and one that has many cross references.  Let’s see where Scripture leads us as we look at the righteous/uprightness, access and divine fellowship.

‘the righteous and uprightness’
“Be glad in the LORD and rejoice, you righteous;
And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!”  Psalm 32:11

“The eyes of the LORD are one the righteous,
And His ears are open to their cry.”  Psalm 34:15

“I have been young, and now am old;
Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken,
Nor his descendents begging bread.”  Psalm 37:25

“The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree,
He shall grow like a cedar of Lebanon.”  Psalm 92:12

“The wicked is ensnared by the transgression of his lips,
But the righteous will come through trouble.”  Proverbs 12:13

“Say to the righteous that it will be well with them,
For they shall eat the fruit of their doing.”  Isaiah 3:10

Jesus speaking in Matthew 13:43 says,
“Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun i8n the kingdom of their Father.  He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”  

These are only a few of righteous and uprightness verses.  Do a study of your own.  You will be blessed in what the Lord has for the righteous.  

‘access into God’s presence’
“Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD?
Or who may stand in His holy place?
He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol,
Nor sworn deceitfully.”  Psalm 24:3-4

“Open the gates,
That the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in.”  Isaiah 26:2

Jesus speaking in John 10:9,
“I am the door.  If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.”

“Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.”  
Romans 5:1-2

“For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.”  Ephesians 2:18

“In Whom, because of our faith in Him, we dare to have boldness (courage and confidence) of free access (an unreserved approach to God with freedom and without fear).”  Ephesians 3:12 The Amplified Bible

The angel to the church in Philadelphia, Revelation 3:8 writes,
“I know your works.  See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.”

‘divine fellowship’
“For where two or three are gather in My name, there am I among them.”  Matthew 18:20

The two on the road to Emmaus Luke 24,
“While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus Himself drew near and when with them.”  Vs. 15
“They said to each other, ‘Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked on the road, while He opened to us the Scriptures?’”  Vs. 32
(Read the whole scenario Vs. 13-35)
“Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished.  And they recognized that they had been with Jesus.”  Acts 4:13

“That which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.”  1 John 1:3

(There are many more verses concerning divine fellowship. Do a study on your own.)

Believers, how blessed beyond measure that we have free access and divine fellowship to and with our Heavenly Father at all times. With grateful hearts we say, Hallelujah! Praise His Holy Name forever.  Amen
