'God Acknowledges Our Faith.'
Romans 4:3.
a) For what does the Scripture say?
b) Abraham Believed God,
c) And it was accounted to him
d) For Righteousness.
e) Genesis 15:6. Abram (Abraham) believed the Lord, and the Lord counted him Righteous because of his Faith.
(This QT helps me to understand that God Acknowledges Our Faith)
PRAY: That we will continue to Believe God.

'Faith And Righteousness.'
Genesis 15:6.
a) Abram believed the Lord,
b) And the Lord counted him as Righteous
c) Because of his Faith.
(This Second one teaches me that pure Faith and Righteousness go together)
PRAY: That we will have both Faith and Righteousness.

It really does profit us to look into the Scripture, in other words: to ready and study our Bible. We may need reputable "Bible Study Helps" to get us going along the right path in our Bible Reading, but once our Bible Reading becomes stable and enjoyable, we should be able to dispense with those helps. We should read the Bible in our first Language - not in English - if our English in not fluent. This should not be difficult in these days when the Bible is printed in so many languages - 2,900 to be precise. (At the latest count, there are still 4,100 languages that have no Bible. This represents 1.3 billion people.)
The Church should really highly value the Bible, its reading, as the source of the sermon, its study, and its being given to new Believers or attenders.
Not only has the Bible yet to been printed in many languages, it has also been forgotten by some! Wherever our Church maybe situated, I am sure that there may be some folks around who know something of what the Bible says, but the vast majority of residents have no idea at all.
It would be great if our Christian-owned shops and businesses had free Bibles available on request for all in their offices or shops!
