Theme for the Week: JUSTIFICATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST
Reading: Romans 4:24-25
_______________________
Romans 4:24 (NIV)
but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.
Abraham's faith in God won him righteousness. This righteousness had nothing to do with his works, but his believe in what was seen as impossible before man to be possible.
Without seeing Christ Jesus' days, anyone who also believes that Christ died for our sins and rose for our justification is imputed the righteousness of God, a perfect righteousness.
No one can be justified by works before God without the intervention of an unmerited favour; for even our good deeds are like filthy rags before God.
Let us embrace this grace in Jesus Christ, believing in Him, that we also we will be credited the righteousness of God.
Shalom.
Let's Pray:
Almighty God, we adore You. May You credit to us Your righteousness, just as You did in the life of Abraham, as we believe in Jesus Christ. Amen.
