Let us take to heart the shocking context of this verse and recognize what Paul is teaching us here that there is none good , not even one, and that trying to keep rules and laws is not what justifies us in the eyes of God but believing on the Lord Jesus Christ as our sin-substitute. Being doers of the law is rooted in faith in God and Jesus Christ Whom He sent to pay the price for our sins. For whoever believes in Him is JUSTIFIED in the eyes of God but whoever does not believe on Him is not justified, but remains condemned - through time and into eternity. For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God’s sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your word of truth. Help me us cease from our own strivings by trying to produce works of righteousness, which You have said in Your Word can never justify us in Your sight. Help us to see clearly that the work that You require of us is to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and that being a 'doer of the word' is to trust in Him, Who alone can justify the lost sinners and Who alone is the Justifier of all who believe. Help us to see that being 'doers of the word' is not carrying out works of the flesh or trying to adhere to works of the law, but refers to the one Who believes in Christ for salvation - knowing that by faith in Him and not by works of the law that we are justified .. and that it is our faith that is credited to us as righteousness, in Jesus name we pray, AMEN. |
