He explains that through Christ, Christians have died to the Old Law and are no longer bound by its demands, enabling them to bear fruit for God. The law itself is not sinful, but it reveals sin, emphasizing man's inability to achieve righteousness on his own. Paul shares his personal struggle, acknowledging the inner conflict between his desire to do good and the sin that too often resides within him. This tension exemplifies the human condition: even with a desire to obey God, sin remains a problem. If justification depends on perfectly adhering to the Law of Moses or any law, then there would be no hope. But “thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!” Marriage illustrates that God's laws, be it matrimony, Moses's Law, or the law of conscience, bind for life. However, death severs this bond, allowing union with another. We should thank God daily for Jesus' death, which frees us from the burden of law and unites us with Him. No law apart from Christ—whether the law of Moses or Gentile morality—can save us, as we all fail to keep the law perfectly. While Christ's law does exist, our justification comes through grace, not perfect obedience. This truth is crucial as we continually wrestle with sin. Like Paul, we often stumble in frustrating, repeated ways. This struggle should deepen our thankfulness for Jesus, where forgiveness and hope are found. Dear Lord, we praise You for the freedom bestowed upon us through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Thank You for liberating us from the burden of law. None of us can perfectly uphold any law, and without Christ, there would be no hope of redemption for our sins. We honor You for redeeming us in Him and guiding us to follow His will and produce fruit of gratitude for You. Father, we mourn our sins. Too often, we wish to obey but still find ourselves falling short. Thank You for freeing us from the penalty of our failures through Jesus.  Thought Questions: -       Paul uses marriage as an example of the life-long intent of law. Does this principle of honoring marriage for life still hold today? -       Does redemption from the burden of the law mean we now have no law? Why must we still “bear fruit for God” in Christ's church?  -       Do you know the misery of choosing sin in the flesh when your spirit only wants to do right? How does Christ help you through such times?

“May we invite you to be the main speaker in our nationwide church leadership conference?” After Jose read the invitation from the renowned organization, he replied, “Please let me pray about it first.” Later, when he turned down the offer, he told a friend, “I knew God was calling me to editorial work on a mission’s project, and the speaking engagement would take time and energy away from that. I said no so I can do what God wants me to do.” What God wants me to do─that was Jose’s priority, determining his decision. Jesus also made God’s purpose His priority. The morning after healing many in Capernaum who were sick and demon-possessed, Jesus went to a solitary place to pray (Mark 1:32-35). The disciples came, saying, “Everyone is looking for you!” (v. 37). Some of those seeking Him were likely requesting healing. Jesus, however, didn’t allow urgency or His sudden popularity to determine what He’d do next. “Let us go . . . to the nearby villages,” He said, “so I can preach there also. That is why I have come” (v. 38). Jesus followed His priority—a ministry that covered the rest of Galilee, and one that included preaching (v. 38). How may we know God’s purpose for us? We can approach Him in prayer, be led by His Word and seek counsel from people who uphold His ways. Let’s spend our life doing what God wants us to do.

Bible Reading: Romans 12:9-13"Look!" said Rylee, stepping back from the huge saguaro cactus. "There's something in that hole!"Dad and Easton came over to see. Sure enough, a pair of blinking yellow eyes peered back at them from a hole in the trunk of the cactus."I think it's a screech owl," said Easton. "We learned that woodpeckers peck holes into cactuses when they make their nests. Then after they leave, other birds move into the empty holes and live there."Dad nodded. "Each time the cactus skin is broken--like when a woodpecker makes a hole--a thick gluey liquid seeps out and forms a waterproof pouch. The liquid hardens, kind of like a scab, to make the pouch permanent. Inside the hole it's cooler in the day and warmer at night, so it makes an ideal home for desert birds."Rylee saw big and little holes in the arms of one of the cactuses--they were everywhere. "This saguaro is like a high-rise apartment building!" she said with a laugh. "What a crowded place to live."Easton grinned. "Just like our house."Rylee nodded thoughtfully. Grandma had recently moved into their house, and Julia, a single mom who went to their church, was going to be living with them for a while with her two-year-old son, Wilder. Rylee remembered the discussion they'd had about Julia and Wilder coming. "You're kidding!" Rylee had said. "Where are they going to sleep?""Well, they will need to move into your room, and you'll have to share a room with Easton." Dad patted Rylee's hand when he saw the look on her face. "It's only for a while until Julia can get back on her feet. We'll all have to make some sacrifices, but that's often necessary when we're called to love others like Jesus, who sacrificed everything for us. Pray about it, will you?" Rylee had tried, but she hadn't felt comfortable praying. She knew she was being selfish. But now Rylee looked at the big saguaro that offered a home to any creature who needed it, even if it meant having holes pecked into its walls. I won't complain, she thought. Even if Wilder pounds holes into our walls too--and knowing him, I'm sure he will! –Trudy Vander VeenHow About You?Are you willing to give up some of your comforts or conveniences to help others? Try to put yourself in their shoes and consider how you might feel if you needed help and no one was willing to give it. When we needed to be rescued from sin, Jesus sacrificed His life to save us. Trust Him to help you love others the way He does and be willing to make sacrifices for them. Today's Key Verse:No one should seek their own good, but the good of others. (NIV) (1 Corinthians 10:24)Today's Key Thought:Make sacrifices for others

Woe unto those that desire the day of the Lord's judgments !! by Shawn Ozbun

“If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches?” - Luke 16:11What if managing money is about more than just numbers and budgets—what if it's a window into something eternal? Afton Phillips joins us today as we explore the mission behind the message you hear every day on this program, and how you can be a part of it.Afton Phillips is the Head of Content at FaithFi: Faith & Finance. The Heart Behind the MissionSo why focus so much on finances?Because how we handle money reveals what we treasure most. At FaithFi, we want to help people experience freedom, peace, and generosity—not just from better budgeting, but from surrendering their hearts to God.It's a message that resonates with people in all seasons of life. Whether you feel boxed in by a budget or anxious about a financial decision, each of those moments is an invitation to reflect on your heart and trust in Christ. We are already living in abundance with the love of Christ.The Common Struggles We All FaceHere are the three biggest challenges that Christians often face when it comes to faithful money management:Trust vs. Security–It's easy to place our hope in financial stability rather than in God.Comfort vs. Generosity–Culture tells us to accumulate, but God calls us to live open-handedly.Identity vs. Worth–We're constantly tempted to measure our value by our bank accounts rather than who we are in Christ.That's why the resources we offer—from our studies to our podcast—aren't just about financial literacy. They're about spiritual formation. The concepts we talk about are an intentional reset. They help us move away from the emptiness of accumulation and toward peace that's rooted in Christ.Why Ecclesiastes Still Speaks TodayFaithFi's newest Bible study, Wisdom Over Wealth, takes readers through the book of Ecclesiastes. This book speaks directly to our modern struggles with meaning, anxiety, and financial pressure.There may not be another book in the Bible that talks about death more, so it really forces you to ask: What really matters? When you realize how short life is, you start to live more intentionally, and that includes how you manage your finances.Rather than treating money as ultimate, Ecclesiastes helps us see it as a gift. Something to be enjoyed, yes—but also stewarded wisely under God's authority.FaithFi's Tools for the JourneyIf you're new to FaithFi, here's a quick look at the resources we offer to help believers apply biblical wisdom to their financial lives every day:Radio + Podcast: Our daily conversations bring timeless biblical wisdom into your financial life.FaithFi App: A free, easy-to-use budgeting tool that helps you align your spending with eternal values—and includes a community of other believers on the same journey.High-Quality Articles and Content: Each week, we share insightful content from leading voices in Christian finance, designed to help you connect your faith with everyday financial decisions.Bible Studies + Devotionals: Deep dives into Scripture that explore God's heart for money and stewardship.Faithful Steward Magazine: A beautifully designed quarterly publication filled with quick reads, practical tips, and theological insights.How You Can Support the MissionAs we approach the end of our fiscal year (June 30), FaithFi is inviting listeners to join our mission by becoming a FaithFi Partner.Here's what your partnership makes possible:Continued production of biblical, practical resources like this radio program.Expansion of studies and devotionals that transform lives.Investment in tools like the FaithFi app that meet people where they are.A monthly gift of $35 or an annual gift of $400 qualifies you for our FaithFi Partner Program.

Additionally, is there a typical range for origination fees and closing costs?My husband and I are struggling to tithe because we disagree with how our church is spending the money. We feel like we're the only ones concerned, and it's hard to give when we believe the funds could be used more wisely. Are we in the wrong for feeling this way? Should we continue tithing anyway?I contributed to a traditional IRA, thinking it was a wise move, but now that I'm retired, I'm in a higher tax bracket than when I earned the income. Are there any strategies to reduce the tax burden in this situation?I want to help my child purchase their first home. Would it be more cost-effective to cosign on their mortgage, or take out a home equity loan myself and pay off the mortgage directly while they repay me? I'm trying to minimize closing costs and fees.I've been hearing more about deed fraud lately. What steps can homeowners take to protect their property from being targeted?Someone told me I might be eligible to collect Social Security based on my husband's record.

If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comRomans 6 “Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? May it never be! How shall we who die to sin still live in it?” Through baptism, believers unite with Christ in His death and resurrection, representing the death of their old sinful selves and their rebirth into a life dedicated to God. Becoming new in Christ demands that sin no longer reign over the body. The members of the Christian's body become instruments of righteousness, reclaimed by God to carry out His good will in this world. Once slaves to sin and subject to death, believers become slaves of righteousness, resulting in sanctification and eternal life. “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Grace is never an excuse for sin. God forgives those who repent, but to willfully sin is to distort His grace. In baptism, we are buried with Christ, united with Him, and raised to a new life through His power. This is wonderful news! However, we also die to our old selves, putting to death the body of sin as we are made alive in Jesus. Our bodies are renewed and repurposed for God's intentions. Once slaves to sin, we now live indebted to God, enslaved to righteousness. Many will not commit to God, wanting to claim their lives as their own. But everyone belongs to either sin leading to death or God leading to eternal life. Choose wisely. Gracious God, thank You for freeing us from the bondage of sin through Jesus Christ. Help us to live united with Him in His death and resurrection, leaving behind our old ways and walking in the newness of life. Empower us to resist sin and to offer ourselves fully to You as instruments of righteousness. Open doors of Christ-like service for us today. Remind us daily that we are no longer slaves to sin but are servants of Your grace, secured now and forever. May our lives reflect Your holiness, and may we honor You in all we do. Thought Questions: -       What must be understood about baptism according to this chapter? What does it mean to crucify the old self through baptism? -       Christians are instruments of righteousness to God. What does that mean, and how does it shape how you live your daily life? -       Are you comfortable with being “enslaved to God”? Why is sanctification in God worth surrendering your whole self to Him?

Hundreds of guests filled a golden ballroom to celebrate a nonprofit’s fiftieth anniversary and honor those who made it possible, especially those who had been involved for decades. A founding member shared with gratitude how, despite thousands of volunteer hours and millions of dollars in grants, they would not have succeeded without God. He repeated that the organization had blossomed not because of human effort—although there was plenty of that, too—but because God had provided for them. Daniel understood the importance of ascribing good gifts to God. When King Nebuchadnezzar received a dream of the future, he called for all the wise men of Babylon to retell his dream and then interpret it. Dismayed, they protested that no one on earth could do what the king asked; it would require a supernatural power (Daniel 2:10-11). Daniel agreed, “No wise man, enchanter, magician or diviner can explain to the king the mystery he has asked about, but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries” (vv. 27-28). In faith, he asked God to reveal the dream to him. When his prayer was answered, Daniel was humble and quick to attribute the interpretation to his great God, not his own wisdom (vv. 45, 30). It’s right to celebrate accomplishments, but at the same time we should give glory to God. The praiseworthy things in our lives can ultimately be traced back to Him.

Bible Reading: Psalm 119:9-16Rylee leaned back to see the top of the huge saguaro cactus next to her. Its spiny arms reached out and up toward the sky. "With so many big arms, this thing should be holding something. Try sitting on one of its arms, Easton," Rylee said with a grin."No way!" said Easton. "I'm not sitting on those prickly things!""Those arms," said Dad, "are holding what is probably the most valuable thing in the entire region.""And I know what it is," Easton said. "Water! Cactus plants can live in the dry, hot desert by storing water inside their trunk and arms.""That can't be right," said Rylee, looking around at the sand and rocks. They extended as far as she could see. "There's no water here!""Easton is right," said Dad. "Cactus roots don't go very deep into the earth. Instead, they go down only about three feet and then spread out about a hundred feet in all directions. The spread-out roots draw in every drop of rain, sending it to a hidden storage area in the arms and trunk of the cactus. That inner water supply is what keeps this cactus alive and growing. These big fellas can soak up as much as two hundred gallons of water--enough to last them a whole year!""Yeah, that's why they're pleated like an accordion," Easton said, eager to show his knowledge. "The pleats expand as the spongy material inside absorbs water.""That's incredible!" said Rylee. "Well, Mr. Cactus, I can see you're a pretty smart guy!"Dad smiled. "One with a good lesson for us about the importance of storing things.""About storing water?" asked Easton. "I don't really mind carrying a water bottle--and I like the size of my arms the way they are!"Dad laughed. "I wasn't thinking of your arms, Easton. Let's try your heart! I hope both of you will store God's Word in your heart and mind. Then when things get difficult, you can draw from those words of hope, comfort, and guidance. Knowing God's Word helps us remember what Jesus has done for us and that He's always with us. Like water in a dry desert, it will nourish you and help you grow in your relationship with Him." –Trudy Vander VeenHow About You?Have you been growing spiritually? Are you storing God's Word in your heart by reading the Bible and memorizing verses? Storing God's Word in your heart will help you understand how much Jesus loves you and who you are in Him. Read and study it so He can use it to guide you in your life, comfort you in hard times, and remind you of His promises. Today's Key Verse:Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You. (NKJV) (Psalm 119:11)Today's Key Thought:Soak up God's Word

This hope is not diminished by suffering. Instead, suffering produces perseverance, character, and hope that does not disappoint, for God's love is poured into their hearts through the Holy Spirit. The love of God sustains them as He sent His Son to die for them, bringing reconciliation, salvation, and abiding joy. Paul contrasts Adam and Christ to illustrate humanity's redemption: Adam's sin brought death and condemnation to all, while Christ's obedience brings righteousness and life. Sin entered through one man's disobedience, but grace overflows to many through one Man's sacrifice. Through Jesus Christ our Lord comes the free gift of righteousness, sustained by reigning grace and protecting us unto eternal life. Living in the grace of Jesus Christ enables us to rejoice in life, no matter our circumstances. Even when we encounter various trials, these present us with opportunities to trust Him more and show our loyalty to our King. God's love, shown by the support of the Holy Spirit and the blood of Jesus, offers us assurance of protection and hope that this world cannot undermine. What man has broken through sin, God has forever repaired through Jesus. Therefore, the gift of righteousness should be our greatest treasure. Christians must express gratitude daily by maintaining an attitude of joy, praising God openly for His grace, and avoiding the sin that led Jesus to die on the cross on our behalf.  Heavenly Father, we praise You for uplifting us with Your love, enabling us to stand in Your grace and rejoice in Your Son. Challenge us to live with ongoing courage and hope, showing our faith in You through difficult circumstances and when interacting with challenging people. Mankind has often chosen sin, but Your Son chose righteousness, and He has made all the difference. Empower us to be devoted to living righteously in His honor. Fill us with gratitude for Your grace and for Your Son's sacrifice on the cross. We will flee the sin that nailed Him there, in Jesus' name.   Thought Questions: -       What helps you be at peace during difficult times? Why are trials good for your growth, and how do they lead to greater hope in God? -       Adam sinned, and mankind followed his lead. If you choose Jesus as your Savior, in what ways should you be following His lead? -       “Where sin increased, grace abounded all the more.” What does that continue to mean for your life, and why must you share this with others?

Why is Psalm 119 so long? In today's episode, Emma Dotter and Watermark member, Aaden Jones, talk about Psalm 119 and unpack why this is the longest chapter in the whole Bible.Respond in worship with:Who Else? by The Worship Initiative (feat. Hayden Browning): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FazTNF_zy28Thy Word by Ellie Holcomb: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmFzKYa6EHU

Beneath the rugged cliffs of Brora, Scotland, a sheep needed rescue. Trapped in a valley surrounded by steep and unyielding rock on one side and the vast ocean on the other, the sheep had been on its own for two long years. Despite several rescue attempts, no one could reach her until a determined farmer named Cammy Wilson and three friends successfully executed a risky rescue mission. Three of the team carefully descended nearly 820 feet down the cliff to get her, using a winch and a lot of courage to lift her out of her predicament. The determined and sympathetic farmer and team reflect the compassion of our loving Father as depicted in Jeremiah 23:1-3. The prophet denounced Judah’s sinful leaders as shepherds who were “destroying and scattering the sheep of [God’s] pasture!” (v. 1). God declared through Jeremiah that—due to the ruthless way they treated His helpless people—He would “bestow punishment” on them (v. 2). He saw the plight of His scattered flock and was deeply concerned about them. Not only was God concerned but He also said He would lovingly regather His sheep (v. 3) from places of exile and bring them to a place of safety and abundance. When we feel lost, trapped, or isolated, our heavenly Father sees our plight and won’t leave us stranded. He actively seeks to rescue and restore us.

Bible Reading: Revelation 7:9-12I can't even understand what they're saying," Ezra said as he and his family entered the church building. His family's car had broken down just over the Canadian border, so they now had to go to church at a place in Quebec, Canada, that his dad had heard about. Everything about the church seemed different to Ezra--the language most of all.When everyone started singing hymns, Ezra's dad passed him a book that said Cantiques on the front. "It's a hymnbook," Dad said. He flipped to the correct page and pointed to a line of words in the song. Ezra tried to follow along with the French song, but none of the words made any sense to him.Later, after church was over, Ezra noticed someone waving to him as he and his family left. He waved back, and his dad asked, "Who's that?""Oh, that's Jacque," Ezra explained. "I met him in Sunday school. He helped me understand the French on the papers the teacher handed out whenever there wasn't English underneath it.""I see," his dad said. "I suppose it was a bit confusing for you in the church service and in Sunday school.""You can say that again," Ezra replied."Going to church in a different country is an interesting experience, isn't it?" said Dad. "Though it can be confusing when things are different from what we're used to or we don't understand what's being said, it's good for us to worship God with Christians from other places in the world. We're all part of God's church and are brothers and sisters in Christ, who saved us by dying for our sins. We worship God in the same way, just in different places and languages." Dad smiled. "In fact, the apostle John wrote in the book of Revelation that there will one day be countless people of every nation, tribe, and language worshiping Jesus in heaven.""Including people from Quebec who speak French?" Ezra asked."That's right." Dad turned to see Jacque and his family leaving. "By the way, au revoir means 'goodbye' in French.""Au revoir, Jacque!" Ezra called."Au revoir, Ezra!" Jacque called back. "I hope to see you again!" –Ethan TerryHow About You?Have you ever attended a church in a different country or where a different language was spoken? Church is not simply a building--God's church is made up of everyone who trusts in Jesus, and He saves people from all over the world. Though we worship Jesus in different places and languages, we are all part of God's family, and one day we will worship Him together in heaven.Today's Key Verse:I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and tribe and people and language, standing in front of the throne and before the Lamb. (NLT) (Revelation 7:9)Today's Key Thought:Christians live around the world

Devotional service and taking up spiritual practice can be heroic. You actually take a stance. You take a stand. If you don't stand for something, as they say—sorry about this—you'll fall for anything. And Krishna invites us to stand up, be strong. In another language, in the Third Chapter of the Gita, he says, "evaṁ buddheḥ paraṁ buddhvā saṁstabhyātmānam ātmanā jahi śatruṁ mahā-bāho kāma-rūpaṁ durāsadam" (BG 3.43). He's telling Arjuna, "You stand up and fight for conquering over the lower self by the higher self." So, "nirmāna-mohā jita-saṅga-doṣā"—give up false association with the world—and "adhyātma-nityā"—find out about transcendental knowledge. What that means is, read the Bhagavad Gita every day. If you want to have a nice day, read the Bhagavad Gita. If you'd like getting confused and disturbed, then just don't read it. "Adhyātma-nityā vinivṛtta-kāmāḥ." Kāmaḥ means desires that can't be fulfilled, and that's also the craziness of this world, is trying to fulfill a desire that will never be fulfilled. So he says, "Give this up." It's a permission to not engage in what most people do. "Dvandvair" means duality. It means don't see anything separate from your highest interest in life, which is to serve Krishna. Don't have a dual identity. Don't have cognitive dissonance and try to play both sides. Just be absorbed in Krishna and get everything from Krishna. Consider Krishna your protector, and consider him your maintainer. And whatever you do, do it for Krishna. You don't have to do it for anybody else. Even if you do have to do something for anybody else, consider that you're doing it for Krishna. Dvandvair, give up that sense of duality in the material world that causes consternation. And then "vimukta" means to be liberated. Be a liberated soul. "Sukha-duḥkha-saṁjñair gachanti" means now... Gachanti means you can go. "Yānti devavratā devān, pitṟn yānti pitṛvratāḥ, bhūtāni yānti bhūtejyā, yānti mad-yājino 'pi mām" means you can go wherever you want. Little jīva, free to move about the universe. You can go wherever you're able to point your attention; you can go there. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

Paul illustrates this with the example of Abraham, who was justified by faith before both circumcision and the Law of Moses. God's promises have always flourished among those who believe in Him and obey Him out of trust in His power. This message was true for Abraham and remains true for all who believe, whether Jew or Gentile. Abraham's faith in God's promise of a son, despite his old age and Sarah's barrenness, was credited to him as righteousness. Paul connects this to believers in Christ, explaining that righteousness is similarly credited to those who trust in God, the One who raised Jesus from the dead for our justification.  “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” If we follow in the footsteps of Father Abraham, we too are justified and blessed by our heavenly Father. Unlike other New Testament chapters concerning Abraham, this passage says little about acts of obedience. The emphasis is on trust. When God spoke, Abraham believed Him. In “hope against hope,” he trusted in God's promises. As a result, Abraham glorified God with his life, showing immediate and complete obedience. While this text was written to demonstrate that salvation comes through Christ and not through the Law of Moses, the message remains powerful for us: we are justified by faith in the resurrection of Jesus, not by perfect law keeping.  God of enduring promises, we praise You for Your kindness and love. Thank You for the promises of justification and eternal life through Jesus Christ. We believe in His life, His resurrection, and His kingship in heaven. Father, help us strengthen our faith in the days ahead. Lead us to urgent faith like Abraham, trusting in Your promises and Your power, even in “hope against hope.” We are not righteous on our own; however, by Your grace, we are saved as we trust You and strive to follow Your will. We rejoice in being justified as righteous through Your beloved Son.   Thought Questions: -       What does it mean to say that “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness”? Do you trust God as Abraham did? -       If we are justified apart from the works of the law, does that mean there are no laws for us to follow in Christ? Why must we still obey His law? -       When have you had to trust in God “in hope against hope”? What have been the outcomes when you have held strong in belief?
