Appearances and words are the gods of the narcissist.
Substance and action are the qualities of the righteous man.
Anyone can say anything, but the one who does what is God's will is counted as righteous.
Romans 12:2
"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."
1 Peter 2:15
"For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people."
Ephesians 5:17
"Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is."
Matthew 6:33
"But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."
We cannot do the will of God if we do not understand it and we cannot understand it unless we are reading the Bible and asking the Holy Spirit to bring the wisdom.
