Theme for the Week: JUSTIFICATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST
Reading: Romans 9:30-32
_______________________
Romans 9:30 (KJV)
[30]What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
Salvation is not for Israel alone. Salvation is for all humans race, alternatives God chose Israel as His people through whom the whole world shall be reconciled unto Him.
God gave the Israelites the Law in order that they may be righteous. Instead of believing in Him who gave them the Law as the creditor of right, they focused on the Law and was unable to be right following it.
Before a person begins to work the Law, they must first acknowledge and believe in the giver of the Law. This is what the Israelites failed to realize. But the gentiles embraced that, putting their faith in God, the Law giver instead of the Law; for they acknowledged their frailty. Selah.
Let's Pray:
Almighty God, we adore You. Lord, as You have shown us that we are nothing without You, may the world recognize this, in Jesus' name. Amen.
