"What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness."
Today's quote is a very short one, but beautifully explains God's plan of salvation. It tells us that Abraham was justified before God, not because of the fact that he offered up Isaac to be sacrificed, but rather because he had FAITH enough to offer his own son.
Again, this lesson confirms that salvation is by grace, through faith and confirms that the miserable "works" we do in our everyday lives have nothing to do with it.
This series of lessons in Romans is some of the most important that are found in the bible. I hope everyone makes note of them all.~
