For believers today, in what scripture calls the “end times,” an era marked by urgency and moral confusion, Jesus’ statement regarding fulfilling all righteousness presses beyond doctrine into daily life. Righteousness is fulfilled not by abstract belief but by continually saying “yes” to God in concrete steps, even when they seem unnecessary or humbling, just as Christ submitted to baptism. The call to fulfil all righteousness summons us to a lived rhythm of walking and talking with God, where each decision becomes an opportunity to align with His will. By so doing we trust that obedience participates in a larger divine story we may not fully see. Thus, Jesus’ words become a present-tense summons: trust is not merely internal assent, but active cooperation with God’s purposes, choosing obedience “now,” in real moments, as an expression of faith that God’s way is right, so that, like Him, we do not merely admire righteousness but participate in its fulfilment.
