Romans 4:22 And because of Abraham’s faith, God counted him as righteous. 23 ¶ And when God counted him as righteous, it wasn’t just for Abraham’s benefit. 24 It was recorded for our benefit, too, assuring us that God will also count us as righteous if we believe in him, the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. 25 He was handed over to die because of our sins, and he was raised to life to make us right with God.
Romans 5:1 ¶ Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. 2 Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.
Based on this amazing revelation of Scripture given to us,
Why did God count Abraham as righteous?
When God did this was it only for Abraham’s sake?
Who else is it meant to benefit?
Why?
Why did Christ die?
What did His resurrection do for us?
How are we made right in God’s sight?
Why can we enjoy peace with God?
What is it that makes us privileged in God’s sight?
How do we stand in this privilege?
What enables us to joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory?

- I currently serve as Senior Pastor of Harvest Church in Knoxville, Tn. I was sent out from Trinity Chapel of Knoxville in 1993 accompanied by my wife Sheila our four children Sarah, Hannah, Josiah & Isaac and a handful of bold, brave and committed believers determined to plant our first church. Pioneering is hard work but well worth the journey. That is why we desire to make disciples of Christ who will, like us, also embrace the call to plant churches.
