Romans 5:1 “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Without our Heavenly Father sending His Son into this world to pay the ultimate price for our guilt we have no chance of enjoying life on this earth or eternally. God demands perfection and because of His Son you and I are perfect in God’s eyes. That is grace. That is a truth we often ask WHY? Why would God send His Son? Answer: because of His phenomenal love for each of us. Live it–Enjoy being a child of God!

Romans 4:21 “being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.” God has never and will never break a promise. That truth is very difficult for us to understand because we live in a world of broken promises. Our court system is overloaded with attempts at truth being discovered. What is the truth and unkept promises are almost expected and often difficult to determine. With God there is no such thing. His promises are absolute. He has made wonderful promises and it is our joy to read His Book and discover those wonderful truth promises.

Romans 4:20 “Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but he was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God.” He in this verse is Abraham. He, Abraham, though well beyond child bearing age with Sarah, his wife, Abraham believed God. His faith is an example for all of us to follow and God wants us to know that. Abraham believed the impossible, humanly speaking, would absolutely happen. You and I must have such a faith. An unquestioning faith is what you and I need to pray for daily. We rest in the confidence of the promises of our God. We live by faith. Have a great weekend.

Romans 3:28a “For we maintain that a person is justified by faith…” Good deeds accomplish salvation in every false faith except the one true faith of Christianity. In Christinity good deeds are a result of an appreciation to God for His love to each of us. In Christianity it is impossible for you and me to earn anything. Jesus has done EVERYTHING. We absolutely need Him. Our good deeds are simply a thank you. And you and I love saying–THANK YOU!

Romans 3:23-24 “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Jesus Christ.” This verse certainly deflates a person’s ego. God does not say–some of you are ok while some of you are not ok. He says—all of you are not ok–all of you need Jesus, your Redeemer. Forget the concept you are bad, forget the concept you are good. Accept the beautiful concept—I have sent my Son and because of His life, death and resurrection—you are mine, you are perfect before me–you couldn’t be more blessed–you couldn’t be more at peace. You are my child–ENJOY!
