Hymn: How I Need You
Scripture: Romans 1:16 I am not ashamed of the gospel; for this is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes , first the Jews, then the Greeks.
Romans 1:17 For the righteousness of God is revealed in this gospel; a righteousness that is by faith from faith to faith. As it is written: “The righteous shall live by faith.”
Saving faith does not come from us, but is given by God. The faith that saves us does not come from us. , is the gift we receive from God. God is the source and giver of faith, and we are the recipients of this divine gift. God puts something in us, and this becomes our faith. 2 Peter 1:1 says, (We all receive the same precious gift of faith). Faith is precious because it is a gift from God.
Meditation
I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. Saving faith does not come from us; we are the recipients of this divine gift. God kills people so that they can live, God inflicts sin on us before he can defend us, and God takes us to hell before he can lead us to heaven.
Guidelines
I believe in God, the Almighty Father, and the gospel is worthy of belief and can only be believed.
