James Chapter 2 part 13
James 2:23
And the scripture was fulfilled which said, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the friend of God...
Believe it or not -but we are all in the same position that Abraham was in - now some of you would say that Abraham was a Spiritual Giant and we cannot be compared to him - but wait -its true - we all have the option to be filled with God's righteousness - its our faith that causes God to open the gates of heaven -but without Jesus and His sacrifice - even our faith alone would not be enough -we must believe God when He says we are now in Christ and we are new creations - we can believe all we want but unless we take hold of Jesus Christ and His death - all our good works warrant nothing at all - we can try and live a righteous life on our own - but we won't make it - we cannot keep the law in ourselves - only through Christ can we be righteous - its not what we do that saves us - its what Jesus already did that saves us - but once saved - we are now inhabited by the Holy Spirit of the living God - and now can do good works (not in our own power but in God's) but remember its not that works themselves that save us - but the blood of the Lamb - Abraham believed God (but please note he didn't always believe God - as he devised a plan to have an offspring in a way that God was not commanding him too) he was righteous through the blood - it was not Abraham's actions that saved him but God Himself - you see Jesus died and rose again not just for our sins - but for all sins! Abraham through he lived before Christ - also is included -in a word -amazing - lets see what else James has to say in tomorrow's verse-
Please read vs 24!
footnote: When God looks at us through His Son -there is no sins anymore! They have been washed away by the blood of the Lamb!
By the blood of CHRIST......we are righteous!!
