A Promise Granted By Faith, Part 1
Contributed on Apr 29, 2024
God's promise to Abraham had nothing to do with any works he performed.
4:13 “For the promise that he would be the heir of the world…” Heir of the world. This one man, Abraham, to be heir of the world? And not just Abraham, though it was to him that the promise was first given. Where is this promise? Genesis 12:3, “In you all the families of the earth shall be ...read more

Abraham Justified Before Circumcision
Contributed on Apr 22, 2024
Paul wants his people to know that salvation is not dependent on any work.

No Boasting Allowed!
Contributed on Mar 20, 2024
Since we are saved by faith and not by works, there is no room for personal pride.
3:27 “Where is boasting then? It is excluded.” Why does Paul bring this up to begin with? Why suddenly talk about boasting? You have to go back to verse 1. He asks, “What advantage does the Jew have?” And the ordinary Jew will answer, “I’ve been circumcised,” or “I have the law,” or “My people ...read more
