"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!
