Romans 4:13-25

May 25, 2025    Bruce Gordon

In this profound exploration of Romans 4, we delve into the heart of salvation through faith. The central message revolves around Abraham's unwavering belief in God's promises, even when circumstances seemed impossible. This powerful example reminds us that true righteousness comes not through our own efforts or adherence to religious laws, but through faith in God's grace. We're challenged to consider how this applies to our own lives - are we relying on our good deeds, or placing our trust fully in God's promises? The parallel drawn between Abraham's faith and our faith in Christ's resurrection is particularly striking, showing us that the same God who brought life from Abraham and Sarah's 'dead' bodies is the One who raised Jesus from the dead and can breathe new life into our spiritually dead hearts. This message encourages us to embrace the supernatural power of God, reminding us that our faith isn't based on what seems possible, but on the limitless capabilities of our Creator.
