Another great Friday!! It is pay day for me. I know you don't think it is very exciting but it truly is... I get paid on the 7th and 22nd these are weird days and then when they land on a weekend we get our checks on Friday. Yahoo!! So I say bring on the weekend!!
Chapter 4:
1-6 Is explaining the difference of earning and recieving blessings. Using Abraham as an example.
9-12 is preatty awesome, it talks about how Abraham believe and was blessed although was not circumcised felt the call to be circumcised which makes him the "father" of both. In other words he can relate to both sides. There has been so many things in my life that have kept me close to different people. I am sure now it if for the kingdom..
13-14 Explain the difference between believing because you fall "heir" to it and know the laws. How righteousness comes by faith.
16 (from The Message)
This is why the fulfillment of God's promise depends entirely on trusting God and his way, and then simply embracing him and what he does. God's promise arrives as pure gift. That's the only way everyone can be sure to get in on it, those who keep the religious traditions and those who have never heard of them. For Abraham is father of us all. He is not our racial father—that's reading the story backward. He is our faith father. Sounds like good news to me!!
22This is why "it was credited to him as righteousness." 23The words "it was credited to him" were written not for him alone, 24but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. 25He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.
Wow what a day.... This is good stuff this Romans has so much to offer!!
