Romans 4:13-16 ( NKJV ) For the promise that he would be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. For if those who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise made of no effect,…

Romans 4:9-12 ( NKJV ) Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised also? For we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for righteousness.

Romans 4:1-4 ( NKJV ) What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh? For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.

Romans 8:32 ( NKJV ) He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Yesterday we began discussing God’s opinion of us based on Romans chapter 8.  Our goal is to replace the negative opinions of others…

Romans 8:31 ( NKJV ) What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Last week I took some time to talk about God’s opinion of you.  Many of our problems are based in the opinions that others have of us.  As I said last week,…
