This is a person who is clothed in the righteousness of JESUS CHRIST ,LIVING IN THE SPIRIT SO THAT THEY DON'T fulfill the lust of the flesh.This is a blessed place to be.
The water is Jesus' baptism that fufill all rigteousness Matthew 3:15. The blood paid for our sins Romans 4:25; Hebrews 9:22. The spirit bears witness about it. Matt. 3:16. This is the bases for our salvation.
My justification comes from only one place and that is the sacrifice on the cross at calvary. The shedding of blood of The Only Son Of God Jesus Christ.Then I am sanctified by grace thru faith in Him. It is the blood covering of my sin that keeps me out of hell. Jesus died in my place for my ungodliness and when God the Father sees me or any other saved person He sees no sin but the blood covering of His Son over my spirit or in my spirit. Salvation in Christ is first then all other works we do is for our glory when we go to be with Him for all eternity.

Corpe Diem!!! two latin words describing Romans Chapter Four.. "Living before the Face of God" Paul expounds with mastery (under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit) what might have seemed like new teaching...maybe to the hearers a new heracy... but, backs up this new covenant relationship with the Father by using two Bulwarks from the old.. Abraham and David.. A life of favor before God produces fruit that first focuses on a limitless God (vs 19)... then keeps expectations High (vs20a)...then does not steal glory but gives it freely to the Glorious One (vs 20b)... and finally, Leaves imposssible things before the feet of God in state of peace, knowing He is able (vs 21)... Really, there is no clearer teaching in the Scripture on living a practical life of faith.. It opens the eyes of each Blood Bought believer to see behind the veil and to glean the fruit of a Spirit Filled Life. The key to it All...understand and believe that God the Father raised Jesus the Son from the dead by the Power of the Holy Spirit.. Hows it looking in your life brother and sister?
Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness. Being saved today is by faith only since Christ died in payment for our sins. There are no required works like water baptism or tithing today to be saved. Jesus did it all.
Abraham Believed God...that is faith. When we by Faith Take God at His Word..we are giving the Glory to God. He tells us We walk by faith, not by sight in 2 Corinthians 5:7KJV. He did not falter, He did not stumble upon the fact that God the Father Told Abraham the Promise ( Genesis 12:1-3KJV) and Abraham merely Obeyed. see also Romans 10:17KJV...Faith comes by hearing God's Word, not man's. If we all could be like Abraham in our own lives...Walking by Faith, by newness of life.

Inndeed,it was not written alone for his sake that he was imputed to righteousness but for us that it shall be imputed to us for righteousness who believed in HIM who raised our LORD JESUS from dead who was delivered for our offences and raised for our justification( Rom 4:19-25).When we belive in this GOD who raised JESUS he woould never fail. This scripture works greatly for me because from my walk with GOD,HE has never failed for once and has always kept to HIS promises,I ***ure you in the name of JESUS that HE would never fail you if you believe in HIS SON JESUS. Try and see and you will never be dissappointed ( Rom 10:11).
That the man who believes in God, not just his word, but also in the person of God, needs no further facts to trust. Some will wait for God, but here we see a man who 'waited with God' till the promise would be fulfilled. Even after every probable cause had been utterly done away with, when all hope was removed, his faith sprung up and grasped that which was promised. Hebrews 6:13-18; Hebrews 11:13-16.
We as Christian should always have trust in GOD and we should follow His teaching as His followers; as His only son was crucified for our sins, we should be closer to Him and do righteous things to be saved from wrath.
My Faith is what makes me want to work for my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Faith without works is dead being alone. Abramham had faith to please God. I also want to please Him.
I believe charity is a bad interpretation and that love is correct but also misinterpreted as works why john 14:21 Jesus says He that has my commandments and keepeth them he it is that loveth me and he that loveth me shall be loved of my father and I will love him . the person who has love keeps his commandments.. John 15:9-10 As the Father has loved me so have I loved you continue ye in my love if you keep my commandments you shall abide in my love as I have kept my fathers commandments and abide in his love .....1 John3:23 And this is his commandment that we should believe on the name of his son Jesus Christ ....And love one another as he gave commandment all religions can have charity but they can not have love because they deny that Jesus is the SON OF GOD. As the Word of God HE gives you the Fathers Commandment then he gives you his commandment to love one another thinking that good works are what were talking about is wrong also Matthew 7:21 Not every one that says onto me Lord Lord shall enter into the Kingdom of heaven but he that doeth the will of my father which is in heaven John6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me that all that seeth the Son and believeth on him may have everlasting life and I will raise him up again at the last day...in that day many will say onto me Lord Lord have we not prophisized in thy name cast out demons in thy name and in thy name done many wonderfull works Romans 4:5-6 Now to him that worketh is the reward not recond of grace but of debt But to him that worketh not but believeth on him that justfieth the ungodly his faith is counted for rightsness Ephesians 2:8-9 for by grace are you saved through faith and that not of yourselves it is the gift of God not of works lest any man should boast then Jesus says to them depart from me ye workers of iniguity I never Knew you 1John2:3 hereby we do know that we know him if we keep his Commandments 1John3:23
Pastor James Olutayo on Romans 4:17 - 13 years ago
God is able to do the impossible. When He speaks it will surely come to pass. Situation and circumstances do not control Him but He does control them. He is not limited by anything be He sets limit for everything.He is able to reverse the irreversible
4:17, creating into existence through the God creative ability as little gods as was done in Genesis when God said, Let there be,,,,,,,,,,and it came into being. Therefore, the same creative Words is within us to create either good or disaster in the future through our words. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. The word became flesh and lived among us. Praise you Jesus. After Adam and Eve lost the Word in the garden of Eden, God so it pleasing to return it through the cross at Golgotha. After receiving Him as our personal Lord and Saviour, the Word was restored within us to create call into being those things which are in accordance God's Will. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word(Jesus) of God. Let's go out there and cause havoc in the kingdom of satan.
What is Paul warning us here? Dare anyone go to the law. When you go to the law you are a fornicator, adulterer, etc, etc. The church again misses the gospel, and tries to get people to obey the law. I do not sin and cannot sin. How is this possible? Read Romans 4:15
“And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body...he did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform”
( Romans 4:19–21, NKJV)
I thank God for his grace realizing there is nothing good enough I can ever do to deserve this gift of God, his grace gives me faith to believe his Word
Justification is declared to be by faith (believing the promise of God),Not by keeping the Law. When we believe in the promises of the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ,we to ,like Abraham have the righteousness of Jesus Christ put to our account.
In Abraham, we have the father of many nations. He is for the jews a prophet because God appeared unto him and reported that there was only one Holy One of Israel, and there were no others. Ditto for the Muslims who are also very Monotheistic(even militant). For the Christian, it was the Faith that was required of him in God's call to offer up Issac, the child of promise and his rightful heir. For God heard his supplication for an heir, but Abraham first had to endure a trial by fire of his faith before faith would be truly imputed to him, as described by Paul in this charter of his enlightening epistles
Romans 5:12 for by one man sin entered the world and death by sin so death passed upon all men for in that all have sinned..... one day I asked God to teach me something I was on an assembly line and wanted to get my mind on something else to help the day go by.so he gave me this verse. I did not think there was anything there for me to know.I already knew about Adam and Eve eating the forbidden fruit . so i said Lord I already know all about that. And he said to me Eve ate first why did sin and death not enter the world when eve ate.and I said yes lord I never saw that before why did sin not enter the world when eve ate so over time this is what I think I have come to understand in order for Adam to sin he first needed a law 1John 3:4 whosoever commiteth sin transgresseth also the Law for sin is the transgression of the Law. Romans 4:15 for the Law worketh wrath for where no Law is there is no transgression without Law Adam could not become a transgressor Romans 4:16 For until the Law Sin was in the world but Sin is not imputed when there is no Law Gen 2:16 And the Lord God commanded the Man saying of every tree in the garden thou mayest freely eat there of but of the tree of the Knowledge of good and evil thou shalt not eat of it for the day there in that thou eatest there of thou shalt surely die ...the commandment was only to Adam you you you... now I do not care what Eve said to the serpent she was not under the law because sin and death did not enter the world when she ate but when Adam ate she died being that she was made from him bone of his bone flesh of his flesh and when they had children they also were the children of Adam bone of his bone flesh of his flesh born dead what Adam lost when he ate was eternal life.there was no death in the world . anyway if God gave Eve the Law then sin and death would have come into the world by the woman and Jesus would have been born with sin through his mother no salvation
4:20 reads He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was STRONG in faith, giving God the Glory....... even though Sarah laughed, Abraham new that God was more than able to fulfill his promise/prophecy. 4:21 And being FULLY persuaded what he "God" had promised; he was ABLE TO PERFORM! That's powerful!
verses 8-9-10 the two children one is born of god I must assume the other is born of the devil that which is born of the devil commits sin that which is born of god does not sin and cannot sin because he is born of god its a position he has in Christ because he keeps his commandments 3:23 to believe that Jesus is his son and to love one another as he gave commandment has nothing to do with the law of Moses. Abraham believed god and it was imputed onto him for righteousness Romans 4:3 what did Abraham do to obtain righteousness he believed god what does god command you to believe 3:23 that Jesus is his son and to love one another as he gave commandment by this know we the children of god and the children of the devil whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of god neither he that loveth not his brother 4:3 and every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of god neither he that loveth not his brother may also be speaking of Jesus seeing that he is also your brother John 14:21 He that hath my commandments and keepeth them he it is that loveth me 3:23 as gods word he gives you the fathers commandment to believe that he is his son and as his son he gives you his commandment to love one anothere
hi, In Genesis 15 God told Abraham he was to have a child and be the father of many nations. Well Abraham was 99 years old and Sarah 90. God was giving this prophecy before it happened as though it was and is already. When God says something it will happen.
( Romans 4:19–21, NKJV)
