It was not through law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. For if those who live by law are heirs, faith has no value and the promise is worthless, because law brings wrath. And where there is […]
Day 20 – Romans 4:9-12 – September 29, 2018
Is this blessedness only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham’s faith was credited to him as righteousness. Under what circumstances was it credited? Was it after he was circumcised? No, it was before! And he received circumcision as a sign and seal of the righteousness that he […]
Day 19 – Romans 4:4-8 – September 27, 2018
Now when a man works, his wages are not credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation. However, to the man who does not work but trusts God, who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness. Blessed are they whose offenses have been forgiven, and whose sins have been covered. Blessed […]
Day 18 – Romans 4:1-3 – September 25, 2018
What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, discovered in this matter (that is, in regard to being acceptable before God)? If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. What does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as […]
Day 17 – Romans 3:26-31 – September 19, 2018
He did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies the man who has faith in Jesus. Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of observing the law? No, but on that of faith. For we maintain that a […]
Day 16 – Romans 3:25 – September 18, 2018
God sent Him (Jesus) to die in our place to take away our sins. We receive forgiveness through faith in the blood of Jesus’ death. This showed that God always does what is right and fair, as in the past when he was patient and did not punish people for their sins. (Romans 3:25) The […]
Day 15 – Romans 3:21-24 – September 16, 2018
But now a righteousness from God, apart from the law, has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. The righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are […]
Day 14 – Romans 3:13-20 – September 13, 2018
Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit. The poison of vipers is on their lips. Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood; ruin and misery mark their paths, and the way of peace they do not know. There is no fear of God before their […]
