We need to follow after/seek righteousness:

1 Timothy 6:11-12
But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.  

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

2 Timothy 2:22
Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

Matthew 5:6
 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Matthew 6:33
 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

1 Corinthians 15:34
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

We need to study the word, be instructed in righteousness.

Follow/Seek: righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.  Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called,

Hunger and thirst for God and His righteousness,  to see His Kingdom in Power and Might of the Holy Spirit.

Righteousness is a fruit: We need to allow the fruit of the Spirit room  grow in our lives.   

2 Corinthians 9:10
Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)

Ephesians 5:9
(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

Philippians 1:11
Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

James 3:18
And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

Hebrews 12:11
Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

Sometimes God needs to chastise those He loves who are on the wrong trrack.  When you recognize your sin, be quick to turn around, repent and confess.  He is quick to forgive.

 If we will simply study His word, walk in His ways, hearken unto His voice. …Be obedient children. ..honestly desiring to please Him.

He promises to be with us, never leave or forsake us. We will have the victory over the evil one and souls will be won to the Lord.

Lord help us to be obedient children.
