i know that my God is able to do abundantly, above all that u can imagine or think

Thank the Lord we have Scripture to go by. Romans 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. "Let God be true, but every man a liar as it is written."

They were rebaptized because they hadn 't even heard of the Holy Ghost in verse 2. John 's baptism was the baptism of repentance verse 4, just like Peter 's baptism of repentance in Acts 2:38. When you see that they didn 't have the Pauline epistles and it was a Jewish faith being preached it will help you. The whole chapter 2 is to Jews verse 5,14,22,36. Simon Peter was offering them the Kingdom and if they as a nation would have repented Jesus Christ would have came back Acts 3:19-20. Stephen was preaching to the nation and Jesus Christ went from His seated position Mark 16:19 to standing in Acts 7:55 ready to come back. This did not take Him by surprise but it was a legitimate offer and the gospel of the kingdom of heaven was preached to the Jews first Rom 1:16 and then with the salvation of Paul the apostle to the Gentiles came the Gospel of the Grace of God. Romans 1:17 says it went from FAITH to FAITH. Galatians 3:23 But before faith came, THIS IS THE FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. The faith afterwards revealed was revealed to Paul read Ephesians 3. Acts 2:38 is a false gospel. Read Acts 15. Peter never preached it again and we are saved today by grace through faith without works Romans 4:5.

Romans 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Galatians 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

While new and some not so new Christians mature, they still struggle with sin, and stumble at times. They WILL be all that God has predestined them to be, and the Lord will chasten them as a loving Father. Their lives are hid in Christ, indeed must be, because if they were NOT "under the blood ", they would not be able to stand before the Lord should God take them at His appointed time Heb.9:27 . David agonized for several months while he battled with his conscience, but he was never lost. He called on the Lord to restore the JOY of God 's salvation in Psalm 5:12, not the salvation itself. His chastening was finally complete when the prophet Nathan confronted him. The penalty for our sin has been paid in full by the work of Christ on the cross. "For if we sin WILFULLY, after that we have received the knowledge of the truth there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins " Heb 10:26, KJV . Those that are born and led of the Spirit will NEVER sin willfully again. They are sealed and kept by God, as David was. When this truth is embedded in the heart, we are able to trust God implicitly and know that they are His forever!

I am so thankful that God called Paul to preach to the gentiles .His explanation here of salvation by faith and not by works is so plain. Also the way he shows Gods Grace to all not to the Jew only but to the Gentiles as well,What a Blessing.Thank You Lord

We cannot look at what we see in the natural, but believe what God 's word says and speak it continuously. If we believe, speak and act the Word is true. Faith is the substance...speak it into existance, no matter how it looks.

If u look at the sighns, it has happened,the lord has taken the saint that were rightious thru his GRACE. I know. Cause I am one thats perscuted. Its not just happening ing africa, its happening. In the U.S also

When we have faith in God our God will give us the power in believing on him. He is the resurrection of life even if our faith is dead he can still restore them coz God loves us so much and he never fails us his love and mercy is always following us. Thanks Jesus for his precious blood that shed for us and his perfect obedience to the Father. We must accept God 's words and obey his wordsd until rapture. His words is our heavenly manna that gives us life, peace in abundance. His words saves us. Thanks be to God forever and have faith with our God forever. He is the only Jehovah the Provider and our Peace. God can bless us whenever he wants as he is not limited with time and place. He is the God of life. Give thanks to God and Praised him all the time as he is worthy to be praised. Amen

Abraham staggered not at the promises of God even though his body doesnt show that he can still be of child he believed on Him who is able to bring His promises to pass. Faith is all we need as God heirs.

The scripture is encouraging us to remain faithful because in the mist of impossibilities God has the power to fulfill his promises.

Hope is an essential element of faith. Our faith is based on hope.

Isn 't it amazing that people wrest the scriptures to their own destruction. The eunuch believed with his heart. Look at Romans 6:17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed FROM THE HEART that form of doctrine which was delivered you. How did he obey? HE was reading Isaiah and look at Romans 10:16 But they have not all OBEYED the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath BELIEVED our report? In the Church Age believing the gospel is obeying what God requires for salvation. Look at Romans 16:26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the OBEDIENCE OF FAITH Water baptism doesn 't connect you with the blood or anything of the kind. It 's not part of our Gospel for today. Show us a passage stating that the disciples were water baptized according to Acts 2:38 or any other water baptism. The eunuch was water baptized AFTER he was saved not in order to get saved and not part of his salvation. Salvation today is not of WORKS, Romans 4:5.

Where there is no law there is no transgression, when God look at me He sees Christ Jesus, cos I am in a place of Christ, the seed of Abraham. Blessed is the man that God will not count his sin, I am not justified by my works but by faith in Christ Jesus.

Where there is no law there is no transgression when God look at me He sees Christ Jesus cos I am in a place of Christ the seed of Abraham. blessed is the man that God will not count his sin I am not justified by my works but by faith in Christ Jesus

The scripture is just telling us that there is better hope than the hope that we can be offered by this world God himself is the Hope that we should believe in against all false hope that can be offered by this world there is better hope who is Jesus Christ the author and the finisher of our faith

It is most significant to me as I accept that Christ lives in me and I too can speak those things that are not as though they were... "ARE "... "IS ".... "In The Now "....that is what "Faith Does "....the words we speak... "Has life and death " in them.

As proof of Gods acceptance of the sacrifice for our sins were paid through the death of His son ie the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus and then God raised Jesus from the dead showing that we are now justified because our sins have been paid for.i see it like an acknowledgement just like in the old testament when a sacrifice was consumed by fire it showed that God was pleased with the sacrifice by raising Jesus from the dead and thereby proving to man that He was justified through faith in the work of the cross.

Romans 4 is great inspiration for those who are lost and seeking hope and faith..Abraham is a prime example of how we should become while dealing through trials and tribulations..

We are to call those things that are not as though they were. We speak in faith believing that God will bring it to pass. My trust is in God not in the world system. God will take care of you if we stop trying to take care of ourself.

verse15 .According to JESUS a man should leave all his worldly pleasures which his body experiences and should live in his soul,if one lives in his soul he shouldn 't follow any law which is meant for the body.If you live in your soul you can forgive others ,you will not become angry,you love others since what others do against you is only against your body and not against your soul or the actual you.

By calling things into existence like our creator did by faith in him amen n love the way pastor James O so graciously put it thank you in going pray it just that way

Abraham had built a strong, personal, trusting relationship with Jehovah over many years. He rejected any doubts that might have weakened that relationship.

Romans 4 17, is a typical example of the book of Genesis 1 1 going. When God said, let there be and there was. So the worlds were created out of things which do not appear. So God himself, the I am God created the world by faith. So Hebrews recorded For by faith the worlds were created out of things which do not appear. So Abraham believed God based on nothing out of nothing at all, no evidence took a bold step by stepping out of his fathers kindred, to where he doesn 't even know, where as the things God promised Abraham in human idealogy, seemed so impossible but by Abrahams faith, impossibilities became a reality. Thus Abrahams faith calleth forth those things that be not as though they were. In our life application nothing can bring our breakthrough except by faith. Hebrews 11 1 faith therefore is the substance of things hoped for and evidence of things unseen. For we walk by faith not by sight!

Halelluyah...

two different testaments indeed the funny thing is we speaking for myself and other non Jewish people Have such a hard time letting go of the law but we re don t even have the law for we are not of the Jewish nation But thanks be to GOD we are adopted into Grace by faith for it is by grace you are saved not of works Ephesians 2 9 so take hold of the new testament and grow in grace looking into the perfect law of liberty gal 5 13

Romans4 8 is a clarification of Romans4 7 the word impute in Romans4 8 in this particular verse is considered to be an accounting term the greek word for impute is logizomai which means to take an inventory of What the writer the Apostle is saying is this the blessedness is when you get to heaven your past present future sins God will not impute or to take an inventory of those sins Thats almost to good news to be true but then so is Gods grace his unmerited unearned favor God Bless

Glory to God this morning as this passage was just bringing life to my present situation that Abraham staggered not at the promise of God in unbelief but through faith believing in the incorruptible promise of God so friend no matter whats going on lets continue to believing the only true one who cannot lie or deceive Amen

Faith and law are two different things.

Romans 4:15 is the heart of the gospel. This is what Christ did at the cross, he nailed the law to the cross ( colossians 2:14). Therefore we do not sin and cannot sin, because their is no law to sin against. Therefore no one sins. The churches have done the opposite, telling us we sin and are sinners, everyone is a saint they just do not know it.
