In the earlier chapters of Romans, we learned that we are justified by the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. Now that we’re justified, what do we receive? This week, Rev. Genesis Tan shares with us the blessings of being justified in Christ.
Dahil tayo ay nagkasala, naging kaaway natin ang Diyos. Ngunit, sa pamamagitan ni Hesus tayo ay nanumbalik sa Panginoon. Ngayong linggo, pakinggan natin ang pagbabahagi ni Ptr. Michael Cariño tungkol sa mga nangyayari sa atin kapag maging kaibigan tayo ng Diyos.
Abraham was righteous not because of his works or who he was. Instead, Abraham was justified by faith because he believed that God will deliver on his promises. This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung explains how we, like Abraham, must have faith that salvation is accomplished only by what Jesus did on the cross, not by our own works.
Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness. This week, Ptr. Jared Co reminds us that we are justified by faith alone and not by our works. Let us reflect on this truth from the Gospel and be thankful for God’s grace.
