Exploring Romans
Let’s recap:
Paul is writing to the church at Rome.
He’s dealing with a great deal of self righteousness.
He’s been telling the church that the law won’t save them.
He stated that some people without the law have been compelled by divine nature to live Godly lives by faith.
and today he continues his defense by looking at Abraham.
Let’s take a look.
Romans 4:16-25
Verse 16 says
That the promise comes by faith.
Psla
Do you have the faith of Abraham?
Verse 17 says
Abraham believed in God.
He believed that God gives life to the dead and calls things into being.
Verse 18 says
Abraham believed against all hope.
The promise was fulfilled because of his faith.
Verse 19 says
Without loosing faith he faced the facts that his and Sarah’s reproductive organs were as good as dead.
Verse 20 says
In the face of contrary circumstances Abraham did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God,
Instead he was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,
When was the last time you gave glory to God before you saw a miracle or an answer to your prayer.
Verse 21
Abraham knew that God had the power to do the impossible.
Verse 22
It was Credited…or…accounted as in taking inventory.
IOW God deemed him righteous because of his faith.
as in taking inventory.
Verse 23-24
But Abraham being deemed righteous wasn’t only for himself but also for all of us who believe in the same God as Abraham did.
Verse 25
Jesus died for our sins and He was raised to life for our justification.
So when it comes to hopelessness we should remember the Psalmist who wrote:
Revelation 21:3-4
When we feel like all hope is lost we should:
Change our focal point
If our hope is in our jobs, our spouses, our parents or anything else then we need to shift the focus of our hope back to God.
If our focus is on God we should go ahead and offer up some praise to Him like the psalmist said to do.
If fact:
If you don’t have anything else to look forward to in this life you can always set your heart on the day when we receive our eternal reward.
There will be no more tears or death or sorrow.
Let us learn to be joyful not in circumstances but in the hope we have be given through Christ Jesus our lord and savior.
