It was not through law that
Abraham and his offspring
received the promise that
he would be heir of the world,
but through the righteousness
that comes by faith.
(Romans 4.13).

I am not ashamed of the gospel
(Best News Ever), because it is
the power of God for the salvation
of everyone who believes: first for
the Jew, then for the Gentile. For in
the gospel (Best News Ever) a
righteousness from God is revealed,
a righteousness that is by faith from
first to last, just as it is written: “The
righteous will live by faith.”
(Romans 1.16 & 17).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and
the exact representation of His being,
sustaining all things by His powerful word.
After He had provided purification for sins,
He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty
in heaven. So he became as much superior to
the angels as the name He has inherited is
superior to theirs.
For to which of the angels did God ever say,
“You are My Son;
today I have become Your Father”?
Or again,
“I will be His Father, and He will be My Son”?
And again, when God Brings His firstborn into
the world, He says,
“Let all God’s angels worship Him.”
In speaking of the angels He says,
“He makes His angels winds,
His servants flames of fire.”
But about the Son He says,
“Your throne, O God, will last for
ever and ever,
and righteousness will be the
scepter of Your kingdom.
You have loved righteousness and
hated wickedness;
therefore God, Your God, has
set You above Your companions
by anointing You with the oil of joy.”
(Hebrews 1.3-9).

Now when a man works, his wages are not
credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation.
However, to the man who does not work but
trusts God Who justifies the wicked, his faith
is credited as righteousness.
(Romans 4.4 & 5).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
David says the same thing when he speaks of the
blessedness of the man to whom God credits
righteousness apart from works:
“Blessed are they whose transgressions
are forgiven,
whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the man whose sin
the Lord will never count against him.”
(Romans 4.6-8).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
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!
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief.
The heavens will disappear with a roar;
the elements will be destroyed by fire, and
the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.
Since everything will be destroyed in this way,
what kind of people ought you to be? You ought
to live holy and godly lives as you look forward
to the day of God and speed its coming. That day
will bring about the destruction of the heavens by
fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in
keeping with His promise we are looking forward to
a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.
So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to
this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless
and at peace with Him. Bear in mind that our Lord’s
patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul
also wrote to you with the wisdom that God gave him.
He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them
of these matters. His letters contain some things that are
hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people
distort, as they do to other Scriptures, to their own
destruction.
Therefore, dear friends, since you already know this,
be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by
the error of lawless men and fall from your secure position.
But grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever! Amen!
(II. Peter 3.11-18).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge
and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be
pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness
that comes through Jesus Christ- to the glory and praise of God.
(Philippians 1.9-11).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
In righteousness you will be established. Tyranny will be far from you.
You will have nothing to fear. Terror will be far removed; it will not
come near you.
(Isaiah 54.14).
