"Der Gerechte aber wird aus Glauben leben." -Romans 1,17
"The righteous shall live by faith." -Romans 1:17
Just a snippet from this morning's reading. Soon after this verse follows those that are illegal to preach in some countries. Paul goes on to talk about the condition of mankind when they choose to ignore the evidence of their Creator and to live as if He didn't exist. They become foolish and debased. He ends the list with:
Unverständige, Treulose, ohne natürliche Liebe, Unbarmherzige; (GEB)
in English:
without understanding, faithless, without natural love, compassionless.
When people convince themselves that there is not God and that they are responsible for their own success, they have little compassion for those around them. This goes for individuals and groups. When we look to people to answer our problems, all we get are bigger problems.
The righteous live by faith. Trust God with your life. Trust God with your future. Trust God, because He is trustworthy in everything all the time. He never fails. He is always ready to rescue His children
Meditate: Psalm 69
