Sharing what I have 'gathered' for today 1 Feb
2015
Romans 4:5
‘And to the
one who does not work but trust
him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness.’
According to this verse, God justifies:
‘the
one who does not work’
‘the
ungodly’
I’m a bit shocked!
Rather, He looks for trust and faith.
Why? Then He gets the glory.
He is the amazing One.
He is the gracious One.
If I have to work for my salvation, it’s just
like being paid for doing a job (Rom 4:4). There’s nothing special about that.
If my justification is a gift . . .
It’s insulting to try to pay someone back for
a gift.
My salvation rests on grace so that it can be
guaranteed (Rom 4:16). If it rested on my performance there would be no
guarantee.
God counts me as righteous as Abraham, as righteous as Jesus
And I’ll have to do is believe it!
Forgive me Lord for try to pay you back for your free gift. I accept it. I receive it. I rejoice in it. Amen.
Forgive me Lord for try to pay you back for your free gift. I accept it. I receive it. I rejoice in it. Amen.
