God promised Abraham a promise only God could promise. Abraham was to receive millions of descendants from a son, who had yet to know life; born, no less, from a barren woman, whom God would open the womb.
“And Abram said, ‘Behold, you have given me no offspring, and a member of my household will be my heir.’ And behold, the word of the LORD came to him: ‘This man shall not be your heir; your very own son shall be your heir.’ And he brought him outside and said, ‘Look toward heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them.’ Then he said to him, ‘So shall your offspring be.’ And he believed the LORD, and he counted it to him as righteousness.”
(Genesis 15:3-6)
If God could open the womb of a barren woman, how much more would He do for us if we believed in all He had promised? He would count our faith as righteousness and we would have salvation through His Son Jesus, who sacrificed His life for us.
If we believe Jesus is God’s Son, we have life. The Apostle Paul made it clear that God’s grace has no bounds. There is no requirement for salvation other than faith. Our works work toward our reward. Blessed are those who keep God’s commandments, for they will have life.
How should we live then? Love God and love others as we would love ourselves. Be patient and kind toward one another, loving one another, as God so loves us. For through love we have knowledge of God. Believe the Lord.
(How should we live then? Love God and love others as we would love ourselves.)
…… By preferring others above ourselves.
Who does this by action? I do not see this in our world.
Of our own strength, we cannot do anything; but with God, all things are possible. May God bless you, Juan and may his peace be with you also.
Amen!
May God bless you and keep you always, Robyn!
God can do all things and I believe in his power. I needed this word today.
May God’s peace and grace be with you always.
I receive that. Thank you.
Being kind to others and loving others is another name for loving God. God loves us! 👌👏
