Justified Through Faith: 1/20/09

  • Mood: Grace Falling Around Me
Tuesday.  Sunny, windy, cool.  Beautiful day on God's planet.

Justified Through Faith

Romans 5:1-2:

    "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand."

    Just read that a few times.  Justified through faith.  How?  Get out your bible (or borrow someone's until you get yours tomorrow!) and read Chapter 4 of Romans, then read the first two verses of Chapter 5 again. 

    Basically, when you believe in God through your faith, you are justified through that faith.  In turn, God grants you peace through Jesus Christ, which completes a circle of having access to Christ through that faith, which also means you are in God's grace.  Bottom line:  Believing in God, having faith in Him, is a great place to be.

    Are you there?  Do you want to be there?  Are you afraid to believe in something that you think may not exist?  Guess what? 

    You will never know whether or not God exists until you believe in Him through faith.  And once you truly give yourself to Christ and place your faith and trust in God, it becomes all too clear that God is there, He exists, and He loves you.
   
    But read what I wrote:  You "truly" give yourself to God and "truly" place your faith and TRUST in God.  He knows your heart.  He knows a fraud.  So if you're going to commit, do it with all your heart, strength, soul, and mind. 

    You won't know God's glory and experience His blessings upon you unless you truly believe, do not fear, do not worry, and you never look back. 
   
    Trust in Him.

    Try it out.  You won't be disappointed.

    Until tomorrow.

    Come Believe...
