WORD OF GOD - ROM 4:20-25

ROMANS 4:20-25

No distrust made him (Abraham) waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, being fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. Therefore his faith ‘was reckoned to him as righteousness.’ Now the words, ‘it was reckoned to him’, were written not for his sake alone, but for ours also. It will be reckoned to us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, who was handed over to death for our trespasses and was raised for our justification.

---- Mine,

Faith is the reason miracles happen. Faith is always a gift, not given because you prayed for it, but freely granted to you when you were baptized and became a child of God as an infant. That tiny little seed of faith was nurtured, tended, protected, and encouraged to grow with the help of so many in your life. Never fail to be grateful to them for the care with which they raised you as a member of My Body. Without faith, it is impossible to please God and all who receive this gift of faith and believe that in God's Eternal Word, will, like Abraham, be considered righteous by My Father in heaven. Faith in  God to level mountains and fill valleys even in the face of insurmountable odds are the reason why miracles like the greatest miracle of all occur - the Resurrection in which all who believe in Me will one day share. I have overcome the world!
