A Message From Pastor Rod

Thank you for joining with us here at WBF. We are so blessed by your faithfulness in following our studies in God’s precious Word. Our series today brings us to Romans chapter four. Here we will deal with one of the great cardinal truths of the New Testament.  This truth is that we as believers in Jesus Christ are justified by faith, not by the keeping of the Law. Paul build his argument for this truth around the man Abraham who is the father of the faithful. Remember God is not only love but he is just. He cannot break his own righteous standards.  He declare that the soul that sins it shall die. There is a breaking of law with sin and it demands justice. God cannot declare us righteous without first receiving payment for the crime. For God to declare one righteous he must balance the ledger sheet of all mankind. You see all of us have a negative balance in the books for all have sinned. Secondly on our own we cannot pay the debt. So God through the sacrifice of his Son not only balance the book but he credits our account with the righteous of Jesus. We have an abundance on our balance sheet and we did not earn any of it.
