| 0:00.0 | Welcome to our new project, the Daily Bible Devotional. The goal is to help you understand and |
| 0:09.3 | apply scripture as you go through a New Testament Bible read five days a week, Monday through |
| 0:15.1 | Friday as we move from Matthew straight through to Revelation. In under four minutes each morning, we will recap the chapter, |
| 0:22.8 | make some application, present thought questions for the day, and offer a prayer together. |
| 0:28.5 | I'm excited about exploring God's Word with you, so let's get started. |
| 0:36.3 | Welcome to our daily Bible devotional study. We're in Romans chapter 4 today. We have a lot of really |
| 0:41.4 | great news to discuss, so let's jump right in. Righteousness before God comes through faith in Jesus, |
| 0:48.1 | not through perfect adherence to the old law or any law separate from Christ. Paul illustrates this with the example of Abraham, |
| 0:56.9 | who was justified by faith before both circumcision and the law of Moses. God's promises have |
| 1:03.1 | always flourished among those who believe in him and obey him out of trust in his power. This |
| 1:09.0 | message was true for Abraham and remains true for all who believe, |
| 1:13.2 | whether Jew or Gentile. Abraham's faith in God's promise of a son, despite his old age, |
| 1:19.0 | and Sarah's barrenness was credited to him as righteousness. Paul connects this to believers in Christ, |
| 1:24.8 | explaining that righteousness is similarly credited to those who trust in God, |
| 1:30.0 | the one who raised Jesus from the dead for our justification. Was Abraham obedient? Yes, why he |
| 1:37.1 | trusted. He believed. And that's where it all begins. Let's start our benefits section with a quote. |
| 1:43.1 | Quote, Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness. |
| 1:48.8 | If we follow in the footsteps of Father Abraham, we too are justified and blessed by our heavenly |
| 1:54.2 | father. Unlike other New Testament chapters concerning Abraham, this passage says little about acts of |
| 2:00.4 | obedience. The emphasis is on |
| 2:02.7 | trust. When God spoke, Abraham believed him. In quote, hope against hope, he trusted in God's |
| 2:10.4 | promises. As a result, Abraham glorified God with his life, showing immediate and complete obedience. |
