Encourragement: righteous by faith

Here is your daily encouragement words and thoughts. Today I bring you encouragement from Romans Chapter 4

.
Romans 4:22
So indeed it was credited to Abraham as righteousness.
But the statement it was credited to him was not written only for Abraham’s sake,
but also for our sake, to whom it will be credited, those who believe in the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.
He was given over because of our transgressions and was raised for the sake of our justification.
Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
through whom we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand,
and we rejoice in the hope of God’s glory. 
Not only this, but we also rejoice in sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance,
and endurance, character, and character, hope.
And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

 For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

Our lives all have challenges, we need to remember that these challenges produce endurance and endurance, character, and character, hope. Jesus with his sacrifice opened the door for us to have access to God simply through faith. We often find it hard to just accept this grace. We often want to find a way to somehow be worthy of the gift, but the hard fact is that Jesus's work is done.

We just need to learn to accept the gift in faith, and in doing so we will be changed from within by the Holy Spirit.



Amen
