"Unearned
righteousness"
Dear friends:
Do you sometimes feel that your Christian
works are insufficient? Then check out the guy in Romans 4 below
who does not work at all:
"But when one does not work, yet believes in
the one who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as
righteousness. So also David declares the blessedness of the
person to whom God credits righteousness apart from
works." (Romans 4:4-6.)
You can cheer up now. Do you believe in
Jesus? If so, God declares you as righteous! It is a gift
from the Lord. Rejoice and rest in it!
Jim
