Your works do not flatter Me!

“Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift but as an obligation. However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness.” Romans 4:4-5

If you can receive this spiritual principle into your heart you will experience a tremendous release of freedom in your relationship with God and you will cease from striving to please God through works.

You have to understand God is under no obligation to bless you through your good works, religious activities, sacrifices, or offerings. They are of no value in finding the righteousness of God.

God does not want your works; He wants your trust in Him. Your faith will bring the righteousness of God into your life.

Faith is the substance of the things you hope for and the evidence of these things rest hidden in God. He will bring these things into your reality by your steadfast faith in Him.

Abraham believed God without any evidence or proof. He walked by faith trusting the voice of God. He was rewarded by God and became the Father of many nations and his descendants were like the stars in the sky.

God gave Abraham a son and blessed Him with wealth. This all took place because Abraham believed God would keep His promises to Him.

You and I can have the same experience with God. Believe in God, listen for His voice, and follow Him without hesitation or doubt.

Thought for the day:

“The gift of God is eternal life. You can receive the fullness of My life by your faith in My Word. I am a God of greatness and glory and I want to give you more than you ask or think!”
