For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. — Romans 4:2 KJV
For if Abraham was justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not toward God. — Romans 4:2 ASV
It is easy to become prideful and self-reliant, especially when we achieve success or recognition. Remember that all our achievements are ultimately insignificant in the eyes of God. Our righteousness comes solely from Him, and we have nothing to boast about in ourselves.
We should surrender our pride and trust in God’s love and provision. And let us have a deeper appreciation for the gift of righteousness through faith.
My Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for the precious gift of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. Your grace is overwhelming, and I am eternally grateful for Your love and great mercy. Help me to always remember that I am justified by faith, not by works, so that I may never boast in myself but always give glory to You.
Fill my heart with humility and gratitude as I walk this journey of faith. I pray that my life be a testimony to Your grace, and that I my always point others to the hope and salvation found in Christ alone.
In Jesus’ precious name, I pray. Amen.
