Righteousness from God
Scripture: Romans 3:[22] This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference,
Observation: My righteousness comes from faith in Jesus, so how righteous am I? I believe in my Lord and savior, but my faith is weak and wavers so much. If my faith was strong I wouldn’t worry the way I do about every little things. Jesus tells me not to worry because it doesn’t do anything for me and to have faith in God. I still try to make my good deeds make me righteous in front of others instead of being righteous before God the Father and that is only possible through the faith I have in Jesus.
Application: To focus more of my thoughts and time on Jesus and the Word. To try to please God and not impress man. To lay down my anxieties at the cross and trust Jesus on the outcome. Be faithful and trust in Him.
Prayer: Dear Lord forgive this stubborn servant and increase my faith that I will please you. I believe, help my unbelief.
