Romans 4:3
For what do the
Scriptures say? Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for
righteousness.
God hitched Abraham’s wagon
to the stars He had created by His word. In our personal lives, the great
solution is always found in the words of our LORD when we have His Spirit…
Whenever we indulge in hurry or in the dumps and refuse to pay attention to His
words, we smash the connecting line and go off on our own…
Abraham goes out of
himself and relies upon God. [What made him righteous was his living confidence
in God.] Righteousness must never be made to mean less than a guiltless
position in the presence of justice and right. The justification of every
sinner is by faith and by faith alone. But it is our just walk that proves Him
just in saving us. If we do not walk in the life of faith, we are a slander to
God.
