PRAISE HIM! let’s rejoice in the truth shown through the life of Abraham, a man who became righteous not because of outward signs or rituals, but because of his faith in The Lord. Romans 4:9-12 reminds us that it is not what we do outwardly that makes us right with God, but the faith that lives within us. Abraham was justified before circumcision, showing that God’s promises are for all who believe, whether Jew or Gentile.
As the body of Christ, we stand united in this same faith. Our identity in Christ is not based on external markers but on the faith we hold in our hearts. Just as Abraham became the father of all who believe, we too are children of that same promise, walking in the footsteps of faith.
Today, let’s be encouraged that our righteousness comes by grace through faith alone. We are accepted, loved, and justified not by works or rituals, but by trusting in the finished work of Christ. Whether we are new to the faith or seasoned believers, this promise is for us all. Let us live boldly, knowing that God is faithful to fulfill His promises to those who believe, and that we are part of a family of faith that stretches across the world, united by the same spirit.
We will continue to walk in faith, trusting God to lead us, and embracing the unity we have in Christ. You are loved, accepted, and counted righteous in Him. Be encouraged, the Lord is with us always, and our faith in Him is the foundation that sustains us! Thank you JESUS!
