Romans 4:23–25
Have you ever wondered if you could maintain unshakable faith like Abraham did, even when life gets uncertain, in your journey of faith in Christ?
He truly believed in the reliability of God’s Word, not just a fleeting emotion or shallow sentiment like we often see today. Even when there seemed to be no possible way for God’s promises to come true, Abraham clung to the Word with rock-solid faith.
Abraham’s faith granted him an imputed righteousness, and guess what? The same applies to us if we believe too.
“Now not for his sake only was it written that it was credited to him, but for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, to us who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, He who was delivered over because of our wrongdoings, and was raised because of our justification,” (Romans 4:23–25).
It’s not just for Abraham’s sake but for all of us who trust in the one who raised Jesus from the dead. You see, Jesus took the penalty for our wrongdoings and was raised to justify us.
Abraham isn’t the only one with this privilege. He’s called the father to a multitude group of believers in Christ. That means you and I can also receive righteousness through faith, even when it feels like the whole world’s against us.
So, let me ask you the big question of the day: Do you believe that you have wronged God at some point? Are you worried about facing the wrath of an angry God?
There’s hope for all of us. Trust in the work of Christ, our Lord, and Savior. Embrace the fact that He lived perfectly and sacrificed Himself for us. It’s time to place your faith in these truths and rely on them. Do you believe?
Remember, it’s all about faith. It’s the only path to righteousness and eternal security.
