FULLY SATISFIED FAITH
I have recently been reading in Romans and I cannot move past Romans 4:17-25 This portion of scripture is talking about God speaking to Abraham about being the father of many nations and having a son with his wife Sarah while they were both over 100 years old. I love this part of scripture because it emphasizes on Abraham's uncomprimising belief in God's Word and his faith that was accounted to him as righteousness. God spoke the word to Abraham in verse 17 that He had made him the father of many nations. Abraham put aside human reasoning( what his situation looked like in the natural) and he hoped in faith believing the Word of the Lord. He didn't weaken in his faith when he looked at his own impossible situation in the natural, he did not waver or let unbelief or distrust come in. It actually says in verse 20 that he grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God. and my favorite part of the whole passage is in verse 21. It says that Abraham was FULLY satisfied and assured that God was able and mighty to keep His word and to do what He had promised, and this is why his faith was credited to him as righteousness. It says that it was written for our sakes too so that we also can believe in God who raised JEsus our Lord from the dead. In this he put us in total right standing with God our father and based upon what He did on the cross we can also be fully satisfied knowing that God is always faithful to do EVERYTHING He said He would do as long as we will just believe Him and His Word without wavering. We don't have to see anything or feel anything to believe God, we just have to believe HIS word and know that He is not a man that He could lie. He said as sons and daughters of God, we have a right to total healing, prosperity, joy, strength, and freedom from everything the devil tries to put on us contrary to God's Word. We don't have to do anything to earn our righteousness except have faith and believe God will do what He said he will do and it is counted to us as righteousness. THANK YOU JESUS!!!! Let us all be fully satisfied in the promise that we have in Jesus. Let's not look at the natural anymore to determine how we will react but let's look at the TRUTH of the Word and let it be bigger in our life that anything else.
