Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith. For we hold that one is justified by faith, apart from works of the law. Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, since God is one - who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.
Isn't it good to know that we, believers, are justified by faith and not by works? I am so grateful that our loving Father chose to save us by faith in Christ's finished work on the cross! God is wise beyond compare!
Each time I complete a chapter, I take a moment to thank God for his help. He is the one who gave me, and everyone else, the ability to memorize his word and HE is the one who grants perseverance! I am also grateful for this blog as accountability. I enjoy trying to type from memory the verses of the day. The Lord is using this memory work to change my heart!
