“The Creditability of Faith”

“The Creditability of Faith”

 

Therefore, it was credited to him for righteousness.  Now, it was credited to him, was not written for Abraham alone, but also for us.  It will be credited to us who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.  He who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.    Romans 4:22-25

 

 

Abraham, was CREDITED for RIGHTEOUSNESS, because of his STRONG FAITH in the ALMIGHTY GOD. The Promise that God had made to Abraham and his descendants that he would inherit the world did not come through the law, but through the RIGHTEOUSNESS that comes by FAITH.  This PROMISE is by FAITH so that it may be according to GOD’S GRACE.

 

And so, the Apostle Paul, tells us, that the statement:  “It was credited to him, was NOT written for Abraham alone, but for those who BELIEVE in the ONE who RAISED Jesus our Lord from the dead.  A person who TRULY gives their HEART and LIFE to God, and will BELIEVE, with ALL their HEART that JESUS died for THEM, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, at the RIGHT HAND of FATHER GOD, making intercession for them, before God, then it will be CREDITED to THEM for. RIGHTEOUSNESS and they will be DELIVERED UP FROM their SINS and RAISED for JUSTIFICATION.  

 

This means that they will be ABLE to ESCAPE an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, but there is NO WAY to ESCAPE, once they are there.   In order to have the CREDITABILITY of FAITH, as Abraham had, you MUST COME to JESUS for a CLEANSING of your SIN-STAINED life, and with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART, CONFESS your sins to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  And BELIEVE in God, with a WHOLE HEART, TRUSTING in HIM for your SALVATION.  And RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST as your SAVIOR and LORD, and ACCEPT His PROMISE of an ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  Do this NOW, while you still can.   He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!
