Today is the last day of reading Romans 1 to 4.  Where Paul lays out a solid argument for justification (how we are accepted as "not guilty" by God).

Paul starts out with highlighting the depravity of mankind, how both Jew and Gentile are guilty before God because of the witness of God that they have ignored.  He continues by stating that everyone comes to God in the same way, by faith, since no one is able to attain the standard of God's holiness on their own.  Circumcised or uncircumcised; Jew, Greek, barbarian; all are sinners before a just God and the only way for them to have their sins atoned for is to believe the promise of God fulfilled in Jesus Christ.

Paul gives an example of saving faith in Abraham who believed God and it (his belief) was credited to him as righteousness.

May we understand Paul's solid argument and examine ourselves to be sure that our faith is in the promise of God which was revealed in Christ.  Let's persevere in faith like Abraham who did not waiver.
