Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. — Galatians 3:6 KJV
So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” — Galatians 3:6 NIV
Today's Verse Reflection
Abraham’s example teaches us that righteousness in God’s eyes is not about perfect adherence to laws or rituals, but about trusting in God’s promises and character. This challenges us to examine the foundation of our own righteousness. Do we rely on our own efforts and achievements, or do we rest in the assurance of God’s promise and provision?
This verse also encourages us to consider the nature of our faith. Is it active and living, marked by a trust that compels us to step out in obedience, even when the path is unclear? Abraham’s faith was not passive; it propelled him into action, leaving his homeland and venturing into the unknown simply because God asked him to. This challenges us to live out our faith in tangible ways, making decisions and taking actions that reflect a trust in God’s guidance and faithfulness.
