Summary

Romans 4:15-17 - For the law brings wrath, but where there is no law there is no transgression. 16 That is why it depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed to all his offspring—not only to the adherent of the law but also to the one who shares the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all, 17 as it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations”—in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist.

Romans 2:12-16 - For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. 13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. 14 For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them 16 on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.

Good morning my friends welcome back to the morning mindset and of course it

0:06.8

doesn't have to be morning when you listen to the morning mindset but my hope

0:10.9

for this resource is that when you listen,

0:15.0

it's somewhere near the start of your day.

0:18.0

Whenever time of day that is,

0:19.6

that you are getting your mind right for the day because I believe the day goes much better

0:25.0

when we're thinking along the lines of God's truth and today we're going to be

0:30.2

looking at this issue once again of justification by faith. Being made right with

0:37.4

God through our belief in what he has said. And my friends think this through. it really is a pretty simple equation.

0:46.1

The God himself, the infinite perfect holy God, says something to us as a statement of truth.

0:53.1

He's saying this is how it is.

0:55.6

And our belief in what he says

0:59.2

really is a logical thing to do.

1:02.3

I mean, the perfect holy all-knowing God tells us something,

1:05.6

shouldn't we believe that? And God says that simple act of belief is what

1:12.3

provides justification to us. It's what he considers true

1:17.2

righteousness is taking him at his word and specifically he's saying when it comes to the way we're made right with him.

1:27.7

We are to simply believe what he says.

1:31.5

And he says, it is by faith we are made righteous not through any sort of works of the law

1:37.6

let's read the passage he says in verse 16 of Romans chapter 4.

1:43.4

That is why it depends on faith,
