Righteousness that comes from God comes through Faith in Christ. This is a very important statement about the Life of Faith. It is very necessary for every Christian to understand this. The Righteousness that comes from God does not come through Church attendance alone! We need to have the real Faith that comes as we receive the Words of God. Receiving the Word of God means more than listening to a sermon, or just reading the Bible, it comes as we apply God's Word to our lives. Faith and Life Application go hand-in-hand.
I like the Biblical statement that we are "made right with God" through what Christ has done for us. It is not about us ... it is about Him!
What amazes me about Grace is that God sees us as Righteous because of what Christ has done for us. "What Christ has done for us" is an incredibly important statement about the Christian life. We are Redeemed by the Blood of Christ, we are "called, chosen and precious" to God. This is far beyond a full explanation here, it can only be received through Faith in the Word of God which we hear or read. It is not about us ... it is about Him!
In our listed PRAYER requests above we can see how important it is not just to Pray, but also to Thank God! There are so many things and people that we can Thank God for!
