Grace For You Today!
Encounter Jesus The King Of Glory And Have Dominion Through His Righteousness!
”What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh? For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”“
Romans 4:1-3 NKJV
Abraham is the ‘Fountain Head of faith’ that is the Righteousness by faith. The Gospel was first preached to Abraham by God Himself ( Galatians 4:8). Abraham believed & he is called the father of faith and he is also our father.
This is his testimony that he believed God and it was accounted or credited to him for Righteousness! The passage says that he was declared righteous in the sight of God not because he obeyed but because he believed. His acts of obedience followed later on after he believed.
He confessed that there is‘nothing of him and everything is of God’ and it was accounted or credited to him for righteousness that means God sees him completely righteous all the time.
We cannot trust our actions because they are sometimes good and sometimes bad. But, God is always good ! He is faithful. He can be trusted and He sent His Son Jesus who completely obeyed God and His obedience ushered in God’s righteousness in our lives when we simply believe( Romans 5:19)
Yes my beloved, the God- kind righteousness is completely of God and there is no human contribution to it at all. We are simply expected to believe and receive His righteousness and the expression of our belief is confession.
Every time I say, “ I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus”, I admit that it is all of God and nothing of me. It took the obedience of Jesus that pleased God and not my obedience . This faith causes me to reign always! Amen 🙏
Praise Jesus our LORD!!
