“FAITH = Righteousness and
Justification”
The words “it
was credited to him” were written not for him alone, but also for us, to whom
God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in Him who raised Jesus our
Lord from the dead. He was delivered
over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification. Romans 4:23-25
Because of
Abraham’s FAITH, “it was credited to him” the “IT” is RIGHTEOUSNESS. God credited Abraham with RIGHTEOUSNESS
because he believed in God and His promises.
But the phrase “it was credited to him” was not written for Abraham
alone, it is also applicable to us, today, at least to those who BELIEVE in God
and His power to raise the Lord Jesus from the dead.
There can be
NO redemption of mankind without the DEATH and RESURRECTION of Jesus our Lord.
We must have FAITH like Abraham in order to have RIGHTEOUSNESS and
JUSTIFICATION credited to us. We must
BELIEVE that Jesus was delivered over to death for OUR sins and was RAISED to
LIFE for our JUSTIFICATION.
JUSTIFICATION is the act by which a sinner is freed from their sin
through their faith, and credited to them by God as RIGHTEOUSNESS.
If you have
NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God then you have NOT been credited with
RIGHTEOUSNESS and JUSTIFICATION, but are condemned to an ETERNITY in Hell
because of your UNBELIEF. However, God
is giving you the opportunity NOW, to turn AWAY from your SINS and to turn to
Him, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART, CONFESSING your sins to Him and asking Him
for His FORGIVENESS, BELIEVING, with ALL your HEART that Jesus died for YOU,
and is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God, then ACCEPT His
gift of SALVATION, and have RIGHTEOUSNESS and JUSTIFICATION credited to you,
and escape the HORRORS of HELL. Do it
NOW, while you still can. He’s waiting and coming SOON!!!
