God’s faithfulness

Romans 3:3-4a “What if some do not have faith?  Will their lack of faith nullify God’s faithfulness?  Not at all! God’s faithfulness has never and will never be determined by what man thinks.  His truth, His promises are absolute.  Never do you or I have to be concerned with man’s fallible, intellectual, self determined opinions relating to God and His faithfulness.  You and I have the privilege of studying His Word and listening to what God says of Himself.  What a joy that is.

Prejudice and God

Romans 2:11 “For God does not show favoritism.” Isn’t that quite an impactful statement.  Instead of all the protesting of today’s world, all signs could simply state this verse in Romans.  God, in His Word, always says it all. 

Persistence

Romans 2:7 “To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life.” Our lives are continually faced with determining choices.  Relationship choices, ethical choices, monetary choices, worship choices, dress choices and the list is endless.  How do you and I know which choices to make?  Are there right or wrong choices?  Definitely there are right and wrong choices.  As Christians we are in the constant state of mind asking our Heavenly Father to help us always make the right and wise choices.

God is obvious

Romans 1:20 “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature–have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.” Nothing is more obvious than God.  The more one studies nature, the human structure, psychology, anything on this earth or in the universe,  the more phenomenal the wonders of God are evident.  My opinion?  Your opinion?  No!  Look around–Look around at the obvious.  See our magnificent God as He surrounds us with His evidence.  Study His Word where His magnificence is truly revealed.   Sorry I have skipped these devotionals for about a week.  I have been in the hospital having emergency surgery of colon cancer.  All was gotten, hopefully.  Healing is happening.  Thank you for your prayers!  Thank God for continuing to bless us all as He always will.

You are righteous

Romans 1:17a “For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith,…” Because of our Savior’s life, death and resurrection you and I are perfect before our Heavenly Father.  By ourselves we are far from righteous, but if someone asks you—are you perfect?—-you can correctly say—yes, I am.  How about you?  Those questions would lead to a very interesting discussion.
