9/14 Romans 4:14-16
If God’s promise is only for those who obey the law, then faith is not necessary and the promise is pointless. 15 For the law always brings punishment on those who try to obey it. (The only way to avoid breaking the law is to have no law to break!) 16 So the promise is received by faith. It is given as a free gift. And we are all certain to receive it, whether or not we live according to the law of Moses, if we have faith like Abraham’s. For Abraham is the father of all who believe.
INVISIBLE
Faith is a venture into the invisible and eternal. It is a little bit us and a whole lot of God. As we move into faith we discover that the more we move the more we are certain. We believe and He connects with us. It is a movement that is provided foundationally by God and by man’s surrender. Reaching out to what cannot be seen into a realm that we cannot know evidences our confidence in a God who cares about us. This promise received by faith is a free from God to us. Wow. Amazing. Jesus is Lord.
