What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather
discovered in this matter? If, in fact, Abraham was
justified by works, he had something to boast about-
but not before God. What does the Scripture say?
“Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him
as righteousness.”
(Romans 4.1-3).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
And Mary said:
“My soul glorifies the Lord
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
for He has been mindful
of the humble state of His servant.
From now on all generations will
call me blessed,
for the Mighty One has done
great things for me
-holy is His name.
His mercy extends to those
who fear him,
from generation to generation.
He has performed mighty deeds
with His arm;
He has scattered those who are
proud in their inmost thoughts.
He has brought down rulers from their thrones
but has lifted up the humble.
He has filled the hungry with good things
but has sent the rich away empty.
He has helped His servant Israel,
remembering to be merciful
to Abraham and his descendants forever,
even as he has said to our fathers.”
Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months
and then returned home.
((Luke 1.46-56).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Jesus Christ fulfilled the Law and its righteous requirements.
He is also the fulfillment of all the types presented in the Law
which pointed to Him. The Temple, the High Priest, the high
holy days, the sacrifices and offerings all pointed to Him and
culminated in Him. In Him the purpose of the Law, the end
which it was designed to accomplish is fulfilled.
The purpose of the Law is fulfilled in Christ Jesus our Lord and
Savior.
The law was designed as the means of right relationship to God for
everyone who trusts in and adheres to and relies on Him.
“For Moses writes that the man who can practice the righteousness
which is based on the Law shall live by it. (Leviticus 18.5).
But the righteousness based on faith says, Do not say in your heart,
Who will ascend to heaven? that is to bring Christ down;
Or who will descend into the abyss? that is, to bring Christ up from the
dead. (Deuteronomy 30.12,13).
But what does it say? The Word is near you, on your lips and in your heart.
That is, the Word of faith which we preach. (Deuteronomy 30.14).
Because if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your
heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
For with the heart a person believes unto righteousness and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation. For as the Scripture says, Whosoever
believes on Him shall not be put to shame. (Psalm 34.22, Isaiah 28.16,49.23;
Jeremiah 17.7).
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek. The same Lord is Lord
over all and he generously bestows His riches upon all who call Him.
For everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.(Joel 2.32).”
(Romans 10.4-13).
The word of God is accessible as God is accessible. Because the Law was
given to point to Jesus and Jesus has fulfilled the righteousness of the
Law and every thing that the Law was designed to accomplish. We must
acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the complete fulfillment of the Law.
Knowing that He is righteous and that our righteousness comes from Him,
we fully trust Him. God Who is faithful, imputes to us the right standing
of Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior.
THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE! HALLELUJAH!
” The word of the faithfulness of God” points to the “righteousness that
comes from faith. The way “Abraham believed and it was counted to him as
righteousness. By trusting Christ Jesus we all become heirs of God with
Abraham. Every man, woman and child everywhere in every age included.
Jew or Greek, Asian or African, European or American, rich or poor we are saved
by faith in Christ Jesus Who is resurrected . We submit to the righteousness
and faithfulness of God and are rescued from sin and death.
We are transported from the kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of God.

“The seventy returned with joy,saying, ‘Lord, in your name even the
demons submit to us !’ he said to them, ‘I watched Satan fall from heaven
like a flash of lightning. See, I have given you authority to tread on snakes
and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing will hurt
you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice at this, that the spirits submit to you,
but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.’”
(Luke 10: 17-20).
HALLELUJAH! WE PRAISE YOU AND THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVER!
