BY FAITH, EAGERLY WAIT!

 

Many are spending their efforts trying to be right with God through good deeds rather than through trusting in God's abundant provision through Christ. Living as if being right with God was attainable through deeds is a dangerous mistake you don’t want ever to make!

For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God’s grace. But we who live by the Spirit eagerly wait to receive by faith the righteousness God has promised to us. (Galatians 5:4, 5 NLT) 

There is absolutely no substitute for faith regarding being right with God! Resting in God and waiting by faith for his work in us is the only way for his righteousness to be accomplished in us and through us! It is time for us to step into the realm of real Christianity! Completely reject the idea of attaining righteousness by works and step into the place of being loved and forgiven! This alone will accomplish the powerful work of righteousness within you! 

It is time to rest in the arms of God’s love and amazing grace, setting your mind on things above! Focus on the unseen! Everything you can physically see is temporary, the unseen is eternal! Through Jesus' sacrifice, God has granted you his righteousness… Just receive! This is the only way the righteousness of God will be made known in you. Apostle Pauls words must be our life...

BY FAITH, EAGERLY WAIT!
