Faith in Christ avails before God

Posted

For we, through the Spirit, by faith, eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith which works through love. Galatians 5:5-6

The Spirit of God, working through His Word, has given us the sure hope that we are counted righteous by God through faith in Christ Jesus and His atoning sacrifice on the cross. Being circumcised or not being circumcised doesn’t matter. What counts is having genuine faith in Christ Jesus, not a dead faith but a faith that also moves us to love God and neighbor.

Thank You, O God, for accepting me and counting me righteous through faith alone in the Son. By Your Spirit, move me to live my life to Your glory and for the good of my neighbor. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
