  • Bible Verse of The Day – 3-31-26

    Romans 10:3 (NKJV) 3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to the righteousness of God.

    We cannot earn salvation through our own actions. It has to be through God’s righteousness which comes through having faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.

    His righteousness is His way of justifying sinners. It is a gift to all mankind. It’s His Answer!

    We cannot be declared righteous by following the law, doing good deeds, etc., no matter how hard we try.

    It comes through faith, as we humbly surrender ourselves to Jesus Christ. Through the blood of Christ, His righteousness covers all our sins and sets us free…Praise be to God!

    Romans 1:17 (NKJV) 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”

    In the book of Habakkuk, God saw the Babylonians as a proud people. But those who relied on Him for their life were considered upright and called “the just”.

    Habakkuk 2:4 (NKJV) 4 “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith.

    It’s by faith in Christ that we are made upright or just.

    This is hard for some people to accept. And some will never leave it at that. They will work hard and try to do everything just right, but not accept what Christ did for us on the cross.

    This is prideful in and of itself.

    It takes a humble heart and being aware of the fact that there is no other way but through the blood of Jesus for a lost soul to be redeemed.

    If we cannot reach that place within our heart, we are no more saved than the unbeliever.

    Hebrews 11:6 (NKJV) 6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

    Submit to the righteousness of God. We don’t work for it. We put our faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.

    Romans 10:4 (NKJV) 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

    Amen.

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 10-27-16

    2 Corinthians 5:21 (NKJV) 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

    We become the righteousness of God in Him.

    That’s a pretty heavy statement. It embodies a lot more than the words on a page can even begin to imply. Let’s take a closer look.

    First, what is righteousness? What does it mean to be righteous?

    Webster’s dictionary defines it this way:

    righteous: acting in accord with divine or moral law: free from guilt or sin

    Take note of the last part of that definition, free from guilt or sin. Now that’s a big deal right there.

    Neither you nor I can ever be free from guilt or sin on our own power or by our own will. It’s impossible. But, by the blood of Jesus, we are made righteous when we put our faith in Him.

    It’s so very simple, yet so very complicated at the same time. And though our heads can grasp it (a little), we will never be able to fully understand or comprehend it. Despite that, though, just know that through the obedience and sacrifice of Jesus, a way was made for us to be washed clean from our sins.

    How? By putting our faith in that very One, Jesus, and the gift that He offers us: Salvation.

    So know that no matter who you are or what you might have done in your past, if you have put your faith and trust in Jesus and the sacrifice that He made, you have been made righteous in Him.

    By the blood of Jesus, you are pure and spotless in God’s eyes!

    Romans 5:19 (NKJV) 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous.
