United By Faith

Roman 4:3-6

3 For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness." 
4 Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. 
5 And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, 
6 just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works:


John 6:29

29 Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent." 

Men are sinners! They are ungodly! They lie, cheat, steal, commit adultery, fornicate, murder, twist God's word, engage in unnatural sex acts and commit all other manner of evil. How can man be justified before holy God? He can not!! God, knowing man could never follow the law, made a way, the only way, for us to be reconciled to Him, His Son Jesus Christ. Our souls have been defiled by sin. God judges not as if we are pure but that Christ is and through Him we are covered ! We are undeserving of this gift but Christ died in our place and therefore we are given the precious gift of salvation through faith in Christ alone! There is nothing you can do to earn salvation! It is given by Christ to you if you will repent! This is what unites man, God and Christ! Faith in God through Christ, that Christ alone saves the sinner from Hell!

Romans 3:22-25

22 the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: 

23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 

24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 

25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God's righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. 

Lord God blessed is Your name! I pray for souls that are lost, for the ones who do not believe, the ones who will not yield, the ones who want to trust but have not heard the gospel and the ones who have been enticed away by false doctrine. You are the only true God, creator, judge and given of life. Amen
