Can We Be Unhappy?

The Best of the Feast

  
Apr. 25, 2016 Romans 4
Can We Be Unhappy?

Please join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately three years.


13 Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.1 Corinthians 16:13, English Standard Version (ESV)



Dear Saints,

Today we prayerfully read our Feast in Romans, Chapter 4; “The doctrine of justification by faith is shown by the case of Abraham. (1-12) He received the promise through the righteousness of faith. (13-22) And we are justified in the same way of believing. (23-25)” -  Matthew Henry Concise.

Today we prayerfully continue our Feast in Romans 4 We are reading God’s Word daily and this builds our faith (see Romans 10:17).  Because of our faith is in Christ Jesus, we know that our righteousness is in Jesus.    “22 That is why his faith was “counted to him as righteousness.” 23 But the words “it was counted to him” were not written for his sake alone, 24 but for ours also. It will be counted to us who believe in him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord, 25 who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification.Romans 4:22-25, ESV.  Because we have faith that Jesus died on the cross for all of our sin, and raised from the dead, we are justified.  Just as if we had never sinned, that is our justification in Jesus. “Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations,Deuteronomy 7:9, ESV.  We are commanded to share God’s love with the whole world (see Matthew 28:18-20).  It’s easy to share God’s love because He never changes.  We love, follow and share our awesome God.  Happenstance changes from one moment to the next.  So we may be unhappy when we see the conditions changing in the world around us, but they can never steal our joy.  Our faith, hope, love and joy are in Jesus!  Let your light shine.  If the Lord is willing I will send and post the Feast again tomorrow.


 God Bless You,
Brother Mike
