Topic: Strong Consolation
Text: Romans 4:13-14,16(TLB)
It is clear, then, That God's promise to give the whole earth to Abraham and his descendants was not because Abraham obeyed God's laws but because he trusted God to keep his promise.
So if you still claim that God's blessings go to those who are "good enough," then you are saying that God's promise to those who have faith are meaningless, and faith is foolish....
So God's blessings are given to us by faith, as a free gift: we are certain to get them whether or not we follow Jewish customs if we have faith like Abraham's, for Abraham is the father of us all when it comes to these matters of faith.
From the Holy scriptures, we have come to understand that it is good for us to keep God's laws.... This is required if we must be examples of true believers.
But when it comes to receiving God's blessings in our lives, it is our absolute faith in God that is required.
Hebrews 11:6, but without faith, it is impossible to please God, for he that comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarded of them who diligently seek Him.
When we trust and have faith that God will keep His promise to us, that releases God to reward us with His blessings
I challenge you to believe God to keep His promise in His word to you and you will enter the avenue of God's continuous blessings in your life. Shalom.
