WE WORK FOR WAGES NOT A GIFT

Ro 4:4 Now when a man works, his wages are not credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation.
Ro 4:5 However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.
Ro 4:6 David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works
Ro 4:7 “Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
Ro 4:8 Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him.”

________________________________________________

Faith=Righteousness, they are one in the same. Anyone who has Faith in Christ is declared righteous in the eyes of the Lord. The blood of the Lamb covers our sins. When we stand before God, we stand in full confidence that we are justified in the name of Christ our Savior. The way of a righteous man is to BELIEVE in the Son of God crucified for our sins. The Gift of God is Christ crucified. We do not work for this Gift, it is as any other gift given freely. We just need to RECEIVE it.

Walk in confidence that you are saved as a BELIEVER in Christ, for the Lord promises it is so and our Father cannot tell a lie. Let this create a joy inside of you that makes you want to run out and tell the world the GOOD NEWS!
