Romans 3 (excerpts)
.....no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.
.....no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.
21 But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. 22This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— 26 he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
.....a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
.....Do we, then, nullify the law by this faith? Not at all! Rather, we uphold the law.

Praise God!
It's December 1 :)
Christmas is just around the corner. It is the most wonderful time of the year- beautiful lights, decorations, gifts, holiday get-aways and food galore. But let's all pause for awhile and think, have we reflected on the "reason of the season?"
Yes, Jesus Christ is the reason for the season. It is when we remember and celebrate baby Jesus born in a manger, the savior of all, our Immanuel- "God with us." He came to save us all.
It is really the season to be merry. Why? Because Jesus came :)
Thank you to our Loving Father in Heaven that He sent His son Jesus to redeem us all. Through faith in Jesus, by receiving Him, by accepting Him with all our whole being as our God and Savior, we are justified by His grace. Yes, by belief and acceptance, not by works, so that no one can boast. But it does not end there, if we have received Him, then we are justified, then what? Then we live our lives according to His righteousness.....and that is how we uphold the law :)
A blessed day to all :)

If you have not received Jesus Christ yet in your heart, today is the day. May you embrace His love and His gift :)
"Lord Jesus, I believe You are truly the Son of God. I confess that I have sinned against You in thought, word, and deed. Please forgive all my wrongdoing, and let me live in relationship with You from now on. I receive You as my personal Savior, accepting the work You accomplished once and for all on the cross. Thank You for saving me. Help me to live a life that is pleasing to You. Amen." (ref prayer by: Mr. Charles Stanley)
