Ps. 37:18 - "The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: & their inheritance shall be for ever." - It PAYS to be righteous! On this Earth we may not have everything we want, but we will have all we need. God knows everything that happens on this Earth. He knows if we are righteous or not. He can see through any facade we may put on. Those who are righteous will receive an eternal inheritance. God makes us righteous.
