It was not through the law that the promise
was made to Abraham and his descendants
that he would inherit the world,
but through the righteousness that comes from faith.
(Romans 4:13)
God is the one who gives life and calls into being what does not exist. His promise was not through the law, but through the righteousness that comes from faith. It depends on faith so that it may be a gift and may be guaranteed to all. It is not only for those who adhere to the law but also to those who follow the faith. Despite all odds, let us believe in the hope that what the Lord had promised will surely be fulfilled.
God, the giver of life, the caller of the unseen,
His promises not of law, but of faith evergreen.
Righteousness through faith, a gift so grand,
Guaranteed to all, across every land.
Not just for those who the law's path tread,
But also for those by faith's hand led.
Despite the odds, in hope we're instilled,
Believing in the Lord, His promises fulfilled.
So let us stand firm, let our faith not be swayed,
For in God's promises, our hope is laid.
Through faith, not law, His love unfurled,
A gift to us, a promise to the world.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We acknowledge You as the giver of life and the One who calls into being what does not exist. We recognize that Your promise was not through the law, but through the righteousness that comes from faith.
We understand that Your promise depends on faith so that it may be a gift and may be guaranteed to all. We know that it is not only for those who adhere to the law but also to those who follow the faith.
Despite all odds, we believe in the hope that what You, Lord, have promised will surely be fulfilled. We trust in Your word and Your faithfulness.
In Jesus' name, we pray, Amen.
