Works? Day 203/365

If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about-but not before God. What does scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness. 

Romans 4:2-3

Therefore it is not your works that make you righteous..

..but your belief!

Reconciled: Day 200/365

For if, while we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! 

Romans 5:10

Turn back: Day 24/365

"All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one." Romans 3:12. Today I had this verse on my heart. I looked at it a bit differently from how I usually look at it however. Doing good isn't just giving that hungry man a sandwich or planting that tree to reduce your carbon footprint. It is changing the way you live and focusing on God. How I see it is that God had one Son and he enjoyed him so much that he said, "Let me make a bigger family." Now I think we have been pretty disappointing children, hey?
