RIGHTEOUSNESS IS NOW BY FAITH

 

FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED.

TOPIC: RIGHTEOUSNESS IS NOW BY FAITH

 JUNE Wednesday 2nd

TEXT: ROMANS 1: 15-17

Key verse: Romans 1:17 “For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.”

Righteousness is no longer by the deeds of the law but by faith in the atonement of Christ therefore whoever believes in Christ shall be saved. It is not that a man must be circumcised before he is called a child of God in Christ in this dispensation. No, that does not hold sway any longer, but it is by faith now. So it means both the Jews and the Gentiles are one. As such as many as will believe in the Lord Jesus Christ shall become the children of God now by faith. The Jews were the children of Abraham by birth, but we are the children of Abraham by the faith of the Lord Jesus so the Lord made the provision for us in the church age. This framework of God was not known during the time of Daniel.

The Old Testament Prophets did not know about this period of the Gentiles coming in, which is the period of formation of the church. Therefore, from the period that the Messiah was cut off to this time is more than 2000 years. This period was a mystery and was not revealed in the 70 weeks prophecy of Daniel. In this over 2000 years, the Lord has faced the Gentiles who are as other sheep to bring them into one fold with the Jews. Now, the Lord Jesus is available for anyone who believes in Him by faith. The ceremonial sacrifices and ordinances have been abolished in this new dispensation. The just shall live by faith.

People of the world do not understand how the salvation of mankind could be accomplished through the death of Christ at Calvary. It seemed as foolishness to them but what appears to be the foolishness of God will rather be wiser than the wisdom of men. How could the messiah have come to the world as a child born in a manger?

Thought for the day: Righteousness is no longer by the law but by faith in the atonement of Christ

Song for the day: He paid the debts He did not owe, I owe the debts I could not..

Bible reading for the day: 2 Chronicles 7-9; John 13:1-17

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
